In March 2012, Syrian migrants began flooding many parts of the world, including the impoverished Bekaa Valley in Lebanon, searching for work and a temporary respite from the beginnings of civil unrest. Shot over an unparalleled decade, Lebanese-Syrian director Noura Kevorkian follows the plight of Maria and her community of Syrian migrant workers who, after toiling for decades in Lebanon’s fertile Bekaa Valley, find themselves unable to return to their hometown of Raqqa, Syria.
Canada/Lebanon/Qatar, 2022, 126 minutes
Director: Noura Kevorkian
Distributor: Six Island Productions
Chicatanas
Chicatana ants are edible flying insects harvested in the dark of night. Richly flavorful and more challenging to forage than truffles, this incredibly rare Mexican delicacy must be gathered by hand in select parts of the country, during the first major rains of late spring and early summer.
USA, 2022, 4 minutes
Director: Daniel Klein
Sponsored by Agri-Food Analytics Lab @ Dalhousie University, Telefilm Canada and EOS Natural Foods
Director Noura Kevorkian and producer Paul Scherzer will be in attendance and will participate in a post-screening Q&A with Sylvain Charlebois from the Agri-Food Analytics Lab and Tareq Hadhad, the Founder& CEO ofPeace By Chocolate.
