Internationally and regionally recognized as the leading photographic institution in the Middle East, the Arab Image Foundation, based in Beirut, spearheads practices in preservation, research and art around the 306 photographic collections in its custody from the Arab region and its diaspora. On the occasion of l’heure d’hiver Beirut exhibition, Cinema Galeries and Arab Image Foundation have commissioned several Lebanese artists to produce video works from the Foundation’s photographic archives. This unique exhibition will feature a series of works by new generation artists reflecting on the city of Beirut and its multiple historical and current transformations.
On the occasion of its annual film festival L'heure d'hiver, Cinema Galeries proposes a focus on a Middle Eastern city. The programme aims to reflect the urban, demographic, social and political dynamics that make up the city, but also and above all to tell the story of how these dynamics are lived: what stories they shape, what experiences and what perspectives.
