Discover the incredible journey of Zlatan Ibrahimovic in ‘I Am Zlatan’. From a Swedish suburb to the pinnacle of international football.

Thursday, 12/12/2024 | 5 PM
Director: Jens Sjögren
Genre:Drama
Year of Production:2021
Duration:102 minutes

Languages: Swedish, English, Croatian | Subtitles: Arabic

I Am Zlatan” is a coming-of-age story depicting the upbringing of Zlatan Ibrahimović in a tough Swedish suburb. Born to immigrant parents from the Balkans, football became his escape as his exceptional talent and self-reliance, despite all odds, led him to the pinnacle of international football.

He has played for clubs like Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and Manchester United.

The film offers a poignant and detailed look at his family life, his relationship with Rosengård, the suburb he still calls home in Malmö. It shows his first big journey from the suburb on his bicycle to central Malmö, and later, to the rest of the world. He navigates his environment with the motto: “Listen, but don’t listen” — accepting good advice without losing his personal essence.

The screening is made possible through the generous support of the Consulate General of Sweden in Jerusalem.

Between Jerusalem and Bethlehem in the Judean Wilderness lies the magnificent Mar Saba Monastery. It is one of three active monasteries that have been in continuous use since the early days of Christianity.
Mar Saba, founded by and named after Saint Sabba in the 5th century, still houses a handful of monks who have chosen to follow a life of solitude and isolation within the refuge provided by the Judean Wilderness.
Our hiking route will also take us to the famous Mount Muntar – the highest peak in the area – and the Hyrcania Fortress deep in the Hyrcania Valley. It is in these deep valleys that legends come to life about the treasures of Jerusalem’s ancient history.

رحلة غير عادية لامرأة فلسطينية في التمثيل الدبلوماسي
2024-11-13 18:00 - 19:00
هذا الاربعاء ١٣-١١-٢٠٢٤ حديث المعمل مع السيدة هند خوري الساعة: ٦ مساءً.

من الواضح أن رحلة الحياة تأخذنا إلى مسارات غير متوقعة بعيداً عن الخطط والنوايا، وربما يكون ذلك أكثر صحة بالنسبة للنساء اللواتي ولدن في خمسينيات القرن الماضي، حيث كان يُتوقع منهن في المقام الأول البقاء في المنزل وتربية الأسرة بينما يتعامل الرجال مع تعقيدات الحياة بعد النكبة.

لكن عند التأمل، يبدو أن الحياة تهيئنا لمهمة معينة ودور محدد، ليس فقط من حيث المعرفة والتعليم والحياة المهنية، بل أيضاً من حيث المبادئ الموجهة والالتزامات التي تتضح أكثر مع مرور السنين. قد تكون الرحلة في النهاية نتاج كيفية استثمار الفرص المتاحة وإدارة التحديات التي غالباً ما تكون أكبر مما نستطيع تحمله.
لذا، ليس من المستغرب أن تكون رحلة هند مليئة بالتطورات غير المتوقعة والفرص، والمصاعب والبهجات، والنجاحات والإخفاقات، والرضا والإحباطات والمزيد.

الحديث القادم في مؤسسة المعمل سيكون مع السيده الفلسطينية المقدسية هند خوري، والتي تشكلت حياتها بشكل أساسي من نضال الشعب الفلسطيني من أجل التحرر، مثل معظم الفلسطينيين، مما شكل هدف حياتها وتركيزها.

سيشكل الحديث فرصة للمساهمة في الحوار المحلي حول الدروس المستفادة من هذه الرحلة النسوية غير التقليدية، ومشاركة، خاصة مع الجيل الشاب، قصص التحديات التي لا تزال تؤرقنا حتى اليوم. والأهم من ذلك، فإن هذا الحديث يهدف إلى مساعدتنا على الحلم بشكل أكبر بمستقبل مشرق، سعيد وآمن نطمح إليه.
