MAY 21 • SCREENING – Civilized People by Randa Chahal Sabbagh

A final screening at Norman Ave.
Join us for the screening of Civilized People by Randa Chahal Sabbag 

A Civilized People (1999, 95’) by Randa Chahal Sabbagh
During the civil war, many wealthy Lebanese people fled to Europe, leaving behind their luxury apartments. The housekeepers were left behind under the control of a sniper who took over a whole neighborhood. Their stories intertwine with that of the Muslim militant, the Christian maid, as well as the rich woman who returns to see her lover in this dark comedy.

This movie was screened only once in Lebanon, at the Beirut International Film Festival. Indeed, about half of the film was censored for its ‘obscenity’ and ‘uncomplimentary representation of Lebanon during this particularly unsavory spell of its history’.

Programmed by Nour Chahal Sabbagh and Nour El Helou.
