The screening event of “The Female Republic of Lebanon” took place with crew members and members of the Lebanese community in attendance. This mini-series, brought forth by the Remember the Future initiative, boldly envisions a society where traditional gender norms are reversed. Crafted through 8 digital workshops and an intensive week in Lebanon, it offers a glimpse into Lebanon’s future under female leadership post a feminist revolution. Each episode, averaging 4 minutes, is supported by the Federal Foreign Office of Germany, highlighting the transformative power of storytelling in inspiring social change.
Christian Stahl, Director of the mocumentaries and elda- European leadership and debate academy emphasized that “The Female Republic of Lebanon” is not merely a mockumentary but a cinematic experiment, urging us to contemplate a potential future shaped by the turning of one page of reality.
Additionally, the screening featured “Berlin Blast,” a film by Elda, depicting the story of a German refugee boy in Beirut amidst post-Berlin Blast.
