Film screening and discussion with director Ghassan Halawani
“Thirty-five years ago, I witnessed the kidnapping of a man I know. He has disappeared since. Ten years ago, I caught a glimpse of his face while walking in the street, but I wasn’t sure it was him. Parts of his face were torn off, but his features had remained unchanged since the incident. Yet something was different, as if he wasn’t the same man.”Director Ghassan Halawani takes the viewer on a forensic chase, uncovering, layer by layer, the darkest chapters of Lebanese history on walls, in documents and urban architecture.
The screening will be followed by a conversation with Sabine El Chamaa, filmmaker and a current CHRA research fellow.
The event is free and open to the public.
Copresented with the Middle Eastern Studies Program at Bard.
