This program amplifies an ongoing cinematic conversation across Lebanon and Palestine that is rooted in intertwined histories of occupation and resistance, featuring Jean Khalil Chamoun’s Women Beyond Borders (2004) and Theo Panagopoulos’ The Flowers Stand Silently, Witnessing (2024). The films consider the relationship between people’s lived environments and their individual and collective identities, navigating through spaces marked by displacement, violence and resilience.
