Join us for a screening of the film La Nuit de verre d'eau featuring a post-show Q & A with director Carlos Chahine. Two things are at the heart of La Nuit du verre d'eau (Mother Valley): One is the film’s stunning yet laden setting in Lebanon, 1958. The other is its riveting star Nathalie Baye, one of the most justly lauded actresses of contemporary French cinema. The debut film of Carlos Chahine, La Nuit de verre d’eau stars Marilyne Naaman and Pierre Rochefort alongside Baye. While a civil war rages, pitting Christians against Muslims in coastal towns, a young mother and model wife, Layla, spends the summer with her family in a remote village in the Christian mountains. It’s wedding season, but her two younger sisters, Eva and Nada, have no desire to follow in Layla’s footsteps by accepting arranged marriages organized by their father, a broke feudal aristocrat. This summer, an encounter with a Frenchman and his mother opens Layla’s eyes on her condition as a woman living in a patriarchal society, where female fates are decided by men: fathers, husbands, and even sons. For the first time ever, Layla begins to rebel. Following the screening, Carlos Chahine will be in conversation with Myrna Dahdah.
