Beirut over and over again / Beyrouth plusieurs fois
fundraiser film screening
Berlin, August 30th, 2020 at Hopscotch Reading Room (open air)
door: 8.00 pm, screening: 9.00 pm
TRAILER: https://piratecinema.org/trailers/beirut_2010_04_21.mp4
The explosions in Beirut on August 4th, 2020 have left at least 180 people
dead, 6,000 injured and an estimated 300,000 displaced – many have lost family,
lovers, homes and livelihoods. Protests against the encrusted political system
represented by the Lebanese government that took place after the catastrophe
were answered with more violence, tear gas & rubber bullets. A state of
military emergency was declared and is threatening the freedom to protest and
stand against a regime that has literally blown its citizens up. Meanwhile, the
people of Beirut continue cleaning up their city’s streets, mourning their
dead, worried sick about those that remain unfound and still counting the
damages.
We warmly invite you and your friends to come to an open air screening of short
films by Hassan Julien Chehouri, Jocelyne Saab, Ghassan Salhab, Mohamed Soueid,
and Siska to send our support from Berlin to Beirut on August 30th at Hopscotch
Reading Room.
Berlin is one of several cities where this program is taking place – Rotterdam,
Paris, Marseille, Geneva, Montréal, Hamburg, Osnabrück –, and hopefully many
more will follow.
*** If you would like to suggest or organise screenings elsewhere, please get
in touch with Nour Ouayda (Beirut) and Philip Widmann (Berlin):
beirutoverandover@gmail.com
In solidarity with the people of Beirut, all proceeds from these screenings
will go towards initiatives that are directly supporting domestic workers,
refugees, transgender and LGBTQ, offering basic food and rebuilding measures,
as well as disaster relief for the arts (scroll down for details)

Donations
Under the ongoing political and economical crisis in Lebanon, many people will
remain dependent on support even after the damage of the explosion has been
repaired. All proceeds from Beirut over and over again / Beyrouth plusieurs
fois will be split equally amongst the following initiatives:
- Egna Legna Besidet እኛ ለኛ በስደት: Fundraising for food and medicine for domestic
workers affected by the explosion. Community-based feminist organisation
working in Lebanon and Ethiopia and led by a former domestic worker.
- Sawa for Development and Aid: Lebanese organisation that works with Syrian
refugees in Lebanon.
- Disaster Relief for the transgender community
- Funding campaign for LGBTQ victims of the Beirut Explosion
- Matbakh El Balad: Group of volunteer activists running food distribution.
- Basmeh and Zeitooneh for Relief and Development: A foundation that supports
the most marginalized communities in the Middle East.
- Lebanon Solidarity Fund by the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture (AFAC) and
Cultural Resource (Al Mawred al Thaquafi): An international fundraising
campaign to support the culture and the arts community within Beirut under
the Lebanon Solidarity Fund. The raised funds will be fully channelled to
support affected arts and culture organizations and spaces based on the
identification of urgent needs. The fund will also support individual artists
who lost their homes, instruments and equipment.
If you can’t attend the screening, please consider donating directly to these
initiatives.
