Join the Global Middle East Studies Minor, the Department of History, the Institute for the Humanities, and the Arab American Cultural Center in a film screening and discussion of:
A Feeling Greater than Love شعور أكبر من الحب
Screening will be followed with a discussion with the director, Mary Jirmanus Saba.
In her directorial debut, Mary Jirmanus Saba deals with a forgotten revolution, saving from oblivion bloodily suppressed strikes at Lebanese tobacco and Gandour chocolate factories. These events from the 1970s, which held the promise of a popular revolution, and with it women’s emancipation, were erased from collective memory by the country’s civil wars. Rich in archival footage from Lebanon’s militant cinema tradition, the film reconstructs the spirit of that revolt, asking of the past how we might transform the present.
