Salloum and Raad use fragments of interviews, interruption, voice and rolling landscapes to challenge the Lebanon of the Western political imaginary and call the process of representation itself into question. 8:15pm Pre-recorded post-screening interview with Jayce Salloum and Justine Makdessi 8:35pm-Close Food and drinks, with arabic vinyl from Habibi Hafla's Mz RizkPT1H40MCTC2026-05-10Up To The South (1993)"Up To The South (1993)"Showtimes
