In Ghassan Salhab's Workshop

Lebanese filmmaker Ghassan Salhab belongs to a world where chaos and destruction have been alternating for decades. While the Israeli army was bombing Gaza, Southern Lebanon and the Golan Heights and at a time that Palestine was once again experiencing a real human disaster, we asked him: how are you? I’m defeated but not resigned. With him, we will explore the question of doing, with the very Godard-like idea in mind that doing means simultaneously admitting our disappointment at Art’s ineffectiveness, yet trying to bring some answers by adopting a political approach through texts, ideas, gestures and images. Because, for all that, surely everything can be born again from the ruins?
