A Feeling Greater Than Love

Mary Jirmanus

Original title: Shu'our akbar min el hob

Country: Lebanon

Year: 2017

Duration: 99 min

Genre: Documentary

Synopsis

A car with a loudspeaker on its roof is driving through southern Lebanon. The old man at the wheel is calling for people to join a demonstration to support their brothers and sisters who’ve occupied a tobacco company and are now being besieged by the army. His words come from the past, as he’s referring to events from 1973 – events that few remember today. Neither the protests made by the tobacco farmers from the south against the large landholders’ monopoly nor the strike for better working conditions by workers at a Beirut chocolate factory are anchored in the country’s collective memory. All recollection of this social movement was erased by the civil war and society has since been marked by deep sectarian divisions.

Looking for both a lost era and strategies able to be applied to current struggles, the filmmaker sets out in search of clues. Starting from the death of a young woman killed during the strike, she asks questions of the activists of the time, archival photos, documentaries from the 1970s, her own person and the possibilities for militant action in film and society. The layering of these diverse materials allows the old man’s pleas to reverberate in the present day.

A Memory in Khaki

Alfoz Tanjour

Original title: Dhakirah Billawn Al Khaki

Country: Syria

Year: 2016

Duration: 108 min

Original Version: Arabic

Genre: Documentary

Synopsis

“Strangely, as soon as I arrived with my family at a modest refugee camp in the heart of Europe, I started to seek refuge in my memories. The memories I had left at our doorstep over there. But the images this time were faint.. fast.. broken.. And they were all in khaki; images of the bitter hideaway years endured by Sanaa in Damascus, the lingering nights that Ibrahim spent in a dark prison, the deep persisting pain suffered by Khalid in exile and the dream of a free homeland which is all that remains for Shadi..!!” A Memory in Khaki is a cry out breathe for that which is embattled inside the spirits of individuals who lived under the Syrian oppressive regime. The auteur’s personal narrative is interwoven with those of other Syrian characters who were forced, because of their political beliefs, to leave the country before or after the revolution. The film sheds light on years of silence, fear and terror, and it dives into the stories which were behind the eruption of the Syrian society and the start of its revolution. It is a Syrian account which, by laying out the past, tells the story of the future.

Iman Kamel

Original title: Jeanne d’Arc Masriya

Country: Egypt

Year: 2016

Duration: 86 min

Original Version: English, Arabic

Synopsis

Egyptian Jeanne d’Arc is a hybrid film that melds documentary with mythic story elements, poetic narration and dance to convey intimate, true stories of resistance by Egyptian women since the outbreak of revolution in 2011. The film follows in the footsteps of Cairene filmmaker Iman Kamel as she journeys to the western deserts where she discovers a diary written by a Bedouin girl named Jehanne. Inspired by Jehanne’s struggle to break free of patriarchal repression and to become a dancer, the filmmaker attempts to trace the whereabouts of Jehanne by reaching out to fellow Egyptian artists, all women, who share with her their own stories of aspiration and resistance over the last 5 years.

Duration: 77 min

Original Version: Arabic

Genre: Documentary

Synopsis

Mohamed, the son of a modest worker, lives in Alexandria and dreams of moving to Cairo to become a filmmaker. It becomes clear that the relationship between son and father, whom Mohamed lives alone with after the death of his mother and the marriage of his sisters, is tepid to the extent that he feels no guilt when he leaves his father all by himself and goes to Cairo. There, he gets to know Salma and Bassam, in whom he feels he finds what he lacked in himself; namely self-confidence. After learning that both were born to seventies leftist parents who opposed an unjust state regime, he begins to search his father’s history in order to find something interesting to recount to them. His father’s life spent in nothing but work to earn his living and raise his offspring is compared to Saiid’s and Mahmoud’s lives, the fathers of Salma and Bassam, respectively.
