Event overview
Present the classic feminist film by Heiny Srour ‘Leila and the Wolves’.
Produced in 1984, at the time that Edward Said and Jean Mohr were working on After the Last Sky, the film brings Arab women’s gaze to the different times and places of women’s roles in the Palestinian struggle. It explores the personal and the political, locating women in the spaces of absence as it inserts their centrality and presence in the history of Lebanon and of Palestine. It is concerned with photography, with acts of remembering, draws on collective memory and on an Arab heritage of oral history and mosaic patterns to compose a compelling narrative structure, re-centering women in Arab history. ‘Leila and the Wolves’ has been called a feminist masterpiece.
Screening Wednesday 26th February, RHB 137, 4.30-7pm. Screening followed by discussion. You are invited to view the exhibition in the Kingsway Corridor before the screening.
