“The Little Lantern” tells the story of Anni Høver Kanafani, structuring itself as a first-person narrative and a testimony of the energy and utopia of a Danish woman, now 87, who moved to Lebanon in the 1960s, and dedicated all her life to Palestinian refugee children. The narrative frame of the film is a theatrical performance with the children of the educational structures she created in the Palestinian refugee camps of Lebanon.

It will be shown every day at the screening space at the Centre for Narrative Practice.
