SUMMARY:Kahlil Gibran\, the Prophet from Lebanon
DESCRIPTION:NEW YORK\, NY\n\nOn Wednesday\, July 2nd\, CHC Member Mark Wood
 cock screens his documentary\, Kahlil Gibran\, the Prophet from Lebanon\n\
 n&nbsp\;\n\nJoin the Coffee House and CHC Member Mark Woodcock for the scr
 eening of a documentary biopic on Kahlil Gibran\, the Lebanese-American po
 et\, painter\, and author of The Prophet and other works\, who died in 193
 1. Woodcock began working on the project in 1979\, at the request of the L
 ebanese Ambassador to the UN\, Ghassan Tueni\, who hoped to encourage a be
 tter understanding of Lebanon and its role in shaping the life and work of
  its famous emigrant to America.\n\nThe film is especially relevant today\
 , given current events in Lebanon and the region. Work on the project ceas
 ed in the early 1980s as Lebanon suffered further turmoil and I had to foc
 us on other projects. Now\, after 45 years\, it is hoped that this 65-minu
 te "prototype" will lead to refinancing a feature-length film (originally 
 to have starred Omar Sharif as the on-camera host and Orson Welles reading
  verses from Gibran's writings).\n\nDinner to follow.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nNew Yo
