Leila and the Wolves

ROOFTOP FILM SCREENING

Leila and the Wolves (ليلى والذئاب) is a 1984 drama film from Lebanese director Heiny Srour and assistant director Sabah Jabbour. It was filmed in often treacherous areas and the filming lasted seven years.

A film that weaves together re-enactments, archive footage and fairy-tale sequences to create a testament to the history of Lebanese and Palestinian women to the political struggles of the twentieth century.

'Leila is emblematic of a generation who is struggling consciously to rhyme braininess with femininity. It was new in Arab cinema. Even in world cinema, so far, no attempt has been made to embrace 80 years of history from a female and feminist point of view. History is cyclical and often burdensome. ‘

Join us for this visually stunning and emotionally resonant film, celebrated for its rich symbolism, impactful and innovative narrative. Don't miss this unforgettable cinematic experience that continues to inspire filmmakers and audiences around the world.

This event is part of ECCE , a film program by Rosemary Antwerp & MINO. A curation of classics and short movies by upcoming filmmakers, screened in open air at our idyllic rooftop garden.
