Dancing was the only way of avoiding deafness
Danser était la seule façon d'éviter la surdité


Anthony Abou Khalifé et Jean-Noël Aoun
Lebanon
2006 / DV / 0:05:00 / Sans dialogue / Without dialog

Night in the streets of Beyrouth. The camera shoots in real time a man on the pavement. It indicates the date with precision: July 12th 2006: it’s the beginning of the war. Despite the calm and beauty of movements, despite the blurry and slow picture, a menace is hanging. This experimental film, filled with music and tardiness, lets us feel the omnipresence of violence.
