Join us for the film screening and discussion of 'Grandma, A Thousand Times (Teta, Alf Marra),' a documentary capturing the spirited life of 83-year-old Teta Fatima, the matriarch of the Kaabour family in old Beirut.

Described as 'delightful and warm-hearted,' the film, with great intimacy, follows Teta Fatima's larger-than-life character as she grapples with the silence in her once-vibrant home, imagining what lies beyond death. The presence of her deceased violinist husband, an essential absence yet palpable presence, is beautifully manifested through the face of their filmmaker grandson, and his unpublished violin improvisations weave through both her world and the film.

Following the screening, join facilitators in a discussion about the film, legacy, and love. Winner of multiple awards, including the Audience Award at the Doha Tribeca Film Festival, Best Film at the London International Documentary Festival, and the Audience Award at DOX BOX, this film promises to be a captivating and thought-provoking experience.
