Sursock Film Night: Um Ghayeb

In partnership with the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture (AFAC), Sursock Museum is screening:
Um Ghayeb: Mother of the Unborn

In a forgotten corner of Egypt lives a woman yearning for a child. Having no option but to live on the fringe of her community because of her infertility, Hanan lingers between a dream slowly slipping away and her struggle to find a place where she belongs. While everything that surrounds her is weighed with fertility and mortality, she wonders how to give meaning to the time that she has in between. The film is a nuanced and moving portrait of a barren woman in rural Egypt.

Arabic with English Subtitles.
