2 on Lebanon: MakeFilmsNotWar and this month’s Artforum
Posted October 3, 2006 by John Menick
Two quick updates on Lebanon and the arts:
MakeFilmsNotWar, launched this year at the Venice Film Festival, is co-sponsoring the 7th Beirut International Film Festival. And for this month’s issue, the editors of Artforum “turned to five individuals involved in [Modern Art Oxford’s “Out of Beirut” exhibition]—Lamia Joreige, Bernard Khoury, Walid Raad, Walid Sadek, and Christine Tohme—and asked them to reflect on the Lebanese crisis and its implications for their practices and for the culture at large.” Some of the results are online.
