Sector Zero Screening at Municipal Public Library of Bachoura

Join the Municipal Public Library of Bachoura as it hosts a screening of the movie “Sector Zero” by Nadim Mishlawi. The screening will be followed by a discussion with the director.

Synopsis: On the outskirts of Beirut, between the City’s port and it’s densely populated center, lies the notorious, now derelict, area of Karantina. Through an exploration of this neglected urban wasteland, “Sector Zero” examines the area’s peculiar history, using it as a metaphor for Lebanon’s own troubled past. “Sector Zero” is not so much a documentation as it is an investigation into the dark corners of modern Lebanon’s collective memory in an attempt to discover how much of who we are is based largely on that part of ourselves we have chosen to forget.
