Nottingham Contemporary
Free event, donations welcome
Join Nottingham Contemporary for a screening of Nahla directed by Farouk Beloufa, shown as part of Two Lenses on Beirut: a film programme curated by Emma Bouraba, with an introduction to the programme.
Set in the aftermath of the Battle of Kfar Shuba in 1975 and at the outset of the Civil War, Algerian filmmaker Farouk Beloufa paints a vivid portrait of Beirut. The nostalgic and mesmerising voice of Nahla, acted by Yasmine Khlat, fills rooms animated by political debates. The film follows an Algerian journalist who has recently arrived in Beirut, capturing the journey of his investigation and the burgeoning friendships he forms. The collapse of Nahla's career and the loss of hope mirror a social climate of tension.
As part of this programme we will also be showing a screening of A Letter from Beirut, Dir. Jocelyne Saab, followed by a conversation.
Emma Bouraba is a film programmer based in London whose research interest lies at the intersection of critical documentaries and the experimental form.
