Leila and the Wolves
Duration 1h30
3/22 – A film unlike any other, Heiny Srour’s LEILA AND THE WOLVES draws on the Arab heritage of oral tradition and mosaic pattern to combine fictional drama, archival footage, and fantasy sequences that explore the collective memory of Arab women and their hidden role in history throughout the past half-century in Palestine and Lebanon. This anti-colonial, narrative-documentary was filmed over seven years with women from Lebanon and Palestine, capturing the intersectionality of the struggles women faced in occupied Palestine. The character of Leila (Nabila Zeitouni) travels through time, from the British Mandate of Palestine to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982, to blend memory and myth.
