Khamsin, one of the films in this year film programme, traces back through Lebanon’s history in the wake of the civil war. Bodies rise. Words collide. At the heart of this, musicians from different backgrounds connect their instruments and make them resonates from all sides. Together with filmmaker Grégoire Couvert, producer Roy Arida and featured artist Charbel Haber and Racha Baroud we explore the art of resistance, post punk and experimental movements in Beirut, waving together seamlessly with the dystopian state of the country. An urgent talk, a creative context of multiple layers, binding politics to the individual. Chaired by Factory People founder Wassim Bou Malham.
