‘Spectres Of: Part 2’ is a two-day film screening that expands on some of the core questions that lie at the heart of Beirut’s past two seasons or programming. Season two offered a reflection on the concept of the nation state and the magical and mystical undercurrents that exist parallel to its supposedly rational disposition. <\/p>\n
Season three presently undertakes similar reflections on and from the perspective of institutions, their language and nature of existence as well as the future of (art) institutions.<\/p>\n
These ruminations inevitably take into account colonial history and the colonized as constitutive outside for the modern nation state, and the negotiation between dependence, social rules and newly gained authority over one’s own culture and identity in the colonial aftermath. <\/p>\n
The selection of films offers a varied perspective on the complexity and the implications of this condition and the ghostly matter at play in the states, debts and cycles of financial capitalism.<\/p>\n
This program is part of an ongoing film exchange between 98weeks in Beirut and Beirut in Cairo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
