Screening: _Frontiers of Dreams and Fears_ (Dir. Mai Masri, 2001)
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 the Shatila refugee camp in Beirut) and Manar (from Bethlehem's Dheisha camp) begin to communicate and build a friendship, despite the barriers separating them. Their remarkable relationship begins with email and culminates in their dramatic meeting at the Israeli/Lebanese border. Through their correspondence, we learn of their dreams and fears -- thoughts that they share with their friends in both camps.
