Gibran

Institute History

  • 2005 Rawi Middle East Screenwriters Lab in Jordan

Description

GIBRAN chronicles the epic and turbulent life of Kahlil Gibran, from his poverty-stricken boyhood in Ottoman-controlled Lebanon, to his adult travels in Paris, Boston and New York in the early 1900s. Although born with a broken heart and a tortured soul, Gibran struggles to deliver his message to the world: You are far far greater than you know. In the end, this dream compels him to write The Prophet, the second best selling book in American history.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
