A World Not Ours (Film)

A festival favourite with critics and audiences all over the world, A World Not Ours is an intimate, humorous portrait of three generations in exile in the refugee camp of Ein el-Helweh in southern Lebanon.

Based on a wealth of personal recordings, family archives, and historical footage, the film is a sensitive and illuminating study of belonging,  friendship and family. Filmed over more than 20 years by multiple generations of the same family, A World Not Ours is more than just a family portrait; it is an attempt to record what is being forgotten, and mark what should not be erased from collective memory.

Working closely with Nakba Films, we were lucky enough to be involved in the music supervision, clearing a variety of jazz classics from the 1940’s onwards.
