AAL ATABAH (BOTH)

UK & Lebanon/2007/No dialogue/Colour/35mm/11 mins

In July 2006, during the war of Israel on Lebanon, a former Lebanese militia man creates his own dream-like world in London – an obsessive fixation on an imaginary muse. London is associated with democracy, the cosmopolitan, diversity; Beirut is associated with occupation, conquest and stories of endless war.

“London and Beirut, two different worlds merge: democracy, occupation, peace and war… and a man and a woman. Bass Brèche’s film is a window open to all possibilities.”
