Five recent films, shot in the midst of and immediately after the war in Lebanon in 2006, incorporate diverse aesthetic strategies to forcefully articulate personal and collective experiences of war. Ali Cherri's video opens the program with a popular Lebanese radio station being interrupted by official Israeli government warnings “to the Lebanese citizens,” as a military barge floats on the horizon. The anxiety and banality of preparing for war is suggested by Ziad Antar's touching and humorous Tank You, which presents interviews with residents of Sidon as they wait in long lines to stock up on gasoline. Defying Fassbinder's assertion that one cannot film in war, Waël Noureddine's July Trip is a manic, visceral journey through Lebanon as bombs tear into daily life, leaving death, destruction, and the need and greed for images in their wake. A second work by Ali Cherri, Slippage, eschews observation to speak metaphorically of the loss of one's bearings inherent to the experience of war, while Ghassan Salhab's (Posthumous) is an elegiac reflection on the difficulties of integrating war's scars into both the urban landscape and the collective psyche.
