FILM
A FEELING GREATER THAN LOVE
Mary Jirmanus Saba, Lebanon
Dreams of popular revolution, erased by civil war. A young girl martyred at a factory strike in Beirut in 1972 – her identity shrouded in mystery. A meditation on revolution, cinema and their possibilities, past and present.
The screening will be followed by a moderated Q&A, via zoom, with the filmmaker.
Saturday May 7th, 7-9PM (Doors open 6:30PM), at the Innis Town Hall.
Registration required. RSVP here.
