Marking the one-year anniversary of the devastating Beirut blast, this program of films and videos from Lebanese artists and filmmakers conveys their direct experience assimilating the overwhelming experience of loss and trauma. Two of the works are a response to the Beirut blast, which shook the city on August 4, 2020, while the other two were created as a response to the 2006 Lebanon war with Israel. From the political and performative to the poetic, these subjective works emerged from the rubble of a collapsed present.

Featuring works by Charbel Samuel Aoun, Ali Cherri, Carol Mansour, Wael Noureddine

Warning
