** FILM SCREENING & DEBATE w/ a DIRECTOR: "Frontiers of Dreams and Fears" by Mai Masri
** DATE TO BE ANNOUNCED
Shot during the liberation of South Lebanon and the beginning of the Al Aqsa Intifada, "Frontiers of Dreams and Fears"
accompanies two young girls on an extraordinary journey to the borders of exile, which separate them from each other
and from their homeland. Mona (from Beirut's Shatila refugee camp) and Manar (from Bethlehem's Dheisha camp)
begin to communicate via email and build a friendship, despite the barriers separating them. Their remarkable
relationship culminates in their dramatic meeting at the Israeli/Lebanese border. Through their correspondence, we
learn of their dreams and fears they share with their friends in both camps. - Discussion with the director who is now in
Palestine, after the film.
