Synopsis

A few weeks before his college entrance exams, Reda (Nicolas Cazale), a young man who lives in the south of France, finds himself obligated to drive his father to Mecca.

From the start, the journey looks to be difficult: Reda and his father (Mohamed Majd) have nothing in common.
The wide cultural and generational gap between the two is worsened by the lack of communication between the two.

Reda finds it hard to accommodate his father, who demands respect for himself and his pilgrimage.

From France, through Italy, Serbia, Turkey, Syria, Jordan to Saudi Arabia- the two will embark on a road trip to Mecca that will change their lives.

If you would like to reserve a seat, Please send and email to tripolifilmclub@hotmail.com (subject:Le Grand Voyage) and include your contact number. Ticket prices (anywhere from 15 LYD-25 LYD) will depend on number of attendees.

About the workshop:
Speaking in front of people is often the source of anxiety for many. The best way to alleviate that stress is to know what is necessary to hold a successful workshop that will interest and inform the participant. This workshop hopes to give you those presentation skills. The topics covered will discuss knowing the audience you are presenting to, developing a plan, structuring a presentation, and giving good delivery including your voice, rapport with the audience, and body language. These ideas will be reviewed, discussed, and, if there are any brave audience members, practiced in an educational environment where the participants do just that . . . participate!

About the speaker:
Brendan Carson has been in teaching and English and training English language teachers for about fifteen years in the United States, Korea, Ireland, Qatar, China, Afghanistan, and currently Libya. He has been living in Tripoli as an English Language Fellow through Georgetown University and the US State Department and is splitting his time between lecturing MA in Applied Linguistics students at the Academy of Graduate Studies and holding training workshops around Libya. He is new to Libya so any good advice for him will be greatly welcomed!

Propelled by the same storytelling instinct that made The Kite Runner a beloved classic, A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once a remarkable chronicle of three decades of Afghan history and a deeply moving account of family and friendship. It is a striking, heart-wrenching novel of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestructible love—a stunning accomplishment.
