Come to the North Kensington Library Film Club!🍿

This month, we are marking Refugee Week with a screening of a touching documentary about three generations of Palestinian refugees in southern Lebanon. This intimate and humorous portrait of a stateless community borrows its title from a novel by the author and activist Ghassan Kanafani (whose books can be found in our libraries collections). It is an illuminating example of preservation of collective memories.

We will have tea, coffee and popcorn available. The film is about 93 minutes long and there will be time for a chat, afterwards.

Thank you for bearing with us after the technical issues that affected the online broadcast of our recent hybrid event.

We’re delighted to be able to offer the online session again on Tuesday 12 May, with our speaker joining us live once more, this time from Los Angeles. The in-person audience experienced an exceptional talk, and we’re so pleased to be able to share it properly with our online community this time.

If you missed the event online the first time, we’d love you to join us.
