Apsara DiQuinzio is the incoming BAM/PFA curator of modern and contemporary art and Phyllis C. Wattis MATRIX Curator.

Whether depicting a partially remembered dream or collecting elements of a story, Lamia Joriege's Replay (Bis), like all of the films in tonight's program, is concerned with the act of recalling the past-a heavy burden given Lebanon's history. Akram Zaatari's split-screen In This House and Joreige's poetic essay Nights and Days deal with war, while Jalal Toufic's Saving Face presents “found” collages of fragmented election posters. Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Six Lines of Flight: Shifting Geographies in Contemporary Art, curated by Apsara DiQuinzio, on view at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art from September 15 to December 31.
