A WORLD NOT OURS

A WORLD NOT OURS, 2012

Lebanon, UK, UAE, Palestine, Denmark | 93’

Director: Mahdi Fleifel

“A World Not Ours” is a faithful, and at times a whimsical portrait of three generations in exile in the refugee camp of Ein el-Helweh located in southern Lebanon. Utilising a bounty of personal recordings, family archives, and historical footage, the film is a perceptive and enlightening endeavour focusing on belonging and friendship. Following the story of several generations from the same family, the documentary is a study highlighting what needs to be erased from collective memory while also recording what has been forgotten.
