BIO
Dahna Abourahme is a Palestinian filmmaker who lived in New York where she received her MA in Media Studies at the New School for Social Research. She currently lives in Beirut where she teaches and is involved in community media. Her latest documentary, The Kingdom of Women, grew out of an oral history project initiated by the Arab Resource Center for Popular Arts (Al-Jana) with the women of Ein El Hilweh Palestinian Refugee Camp in south Lebanon. Weaving between past and present, animation and daily life, The Kingdom of Women documents the community and organizing spirit of the women of Ein El Hilweh.
