Monday at the Movies: Limbo In-Person
A wry and poignant observation of the refugee experience, Limbo is set on a fictional remote Scottish island where a group of new arrivals await the results of their asylum claims. It centers on Omar, a young Syrian musician who is burdened by his grandfather's oud, which he has carried all the way from his homeland. Reflecting the complexity of the movement of people across borders has been a long-held passion for director and writer Ben Sharrock, who spent time working for an NGO in refugee camps in southern Algeria and living in Damascus in 2009 shortly before the outbreak of the Syrian civil war. There, he formed a network of friends whose personal stories inspired the film. Rated R. 103 minutes.
Monday at the Movies is funded through the generosity of the Friends of the Summit Free Public Library.
