Peer presents One Hundred Faces for a Single Day

A public screening of Christian Ghazi's surviving 1972 experimental film One Hundred Faces for a Single Day, preceded by a documentary on his work.

Peer and the ICA present a public screening of One Hundred Faces for a Single Day (Mi'at Wajeh Li Yawm Wahed, 1972), Christian Ghazi's avant-garde 16mm film critiquing the behaviour of Beirut's elites during Lebanon's Golden Age. Made in 1969 and released in 1972, it is one of only two surviving early works by Ghazi, whose archive was largely destroyed in 1988, and is presented as a jagged visual and sonic collage. The screening is preceded by Nancy el Hajj's previously unseen 2011 documentary Theatre in the Cross of the Wind. The event forms part of Dala Nasser's Cemetery of Martyrs commission at Peer.
