Tribute to Ghassan Kanafani ➢Resistance Why by Christian Ghazi (Lebanon I 1971 I 38 min I Documentary) In 1970, with the initiative of Soraya Antonius (Fifth of June Society), Christian Ghazi and Noureddine Chatti went to meet Arab political figures, and in particular Palestinians living in Lebanon. Ghassan Kanafani, Sadiq Jalal El-Azm, Nabil Shaath and others offer their visions of the Palestinian revolution, anchoring it in its history since the early 20th century. "Resistance Why" is a new documentary that delivers in English - and therefore intended for an international audience - words driven by an ideal of openness, self-determination, justice and non-renunciation of the rights of peoples against occupation, Zionism and imperialism. ➢A Hundred Faces For A Single Day by Christian Ghazi (Lebanon I 1969 I 63 min I Documentary) Rejecting all propagandistic or narrative convention, Ghazi combined documentary and abstract sequences with a series of discontinuous plot lines to organize a stinging attack on the bourgeois decadence of Beirut's political milieu. It is one of the few films that survived the destruction of the work of Christian Ghazi, who died in 2013.
