A World Not Ours at The Island
Free entry, please book in advance to avoid disappointment.

A event held at The Island on Wednesday 17th June. The event starts at 19:00.


A World Not Ours is an intimate, humorous, portrait of three generations of
exile in the refugee camp of Ein el-Helweh, in southern Lebanon. Based on a wealth of personal recordings, family archives, and historical footage, the film is a sensitive, and illuminating study of belonging, friendship, and family.

Filmed over more than 20 years by multiple generations of the same family, A World Not Ours is more than just a family portrait; it is an attempt to record what is being forgotten, and mark what should not be erased from collective memory.
