On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
TILKA is an intimate portrait of five women navigating multiple crises in Lebanon: prolonged economic collapse, a global pandemic and the aftermath of the Beirut port blast. Najah, Tima, Rania, Fatima and Fida meet in March 2021 for an artist’s residency in the mountains outside Beirut, coming together to create an original piece of theatre. As the country grapples with collapse, TILKA weaves together their individual stories With a collective story of displacement, motherhood and hope told through the play.
TILKA won Best Local Documentary at the Lebanese Independent Film Festival and the Special Jury Mention from the Beirut International Women’s Film Festival. It has also been selected for the DOK Leipzig Film Market, AWAN (Arab Women Artists Now) Festival in London and Migration Matters Festival in Sheffield.
