Event details
The summer 2022 Mizna Film Series presents a retrospective of the collaborative film projects of Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige. Often blending history and fantasy, Hadjithomas and Joreige’s work captures the mood and contradictions of Lebanon in the post-war moment. They use film to untangle representation from its referent, and their work engages the construction of memory from fact and fiction.
Check out the full line-up of films for the summer series here.
In June, Mizna Film Series will present the film ISMYRNA, which features Etel Adnan and Joana Hadjithomas as they question their connected histories and imaginaries to the city of Izmir. ISMYRNA will screen alongside one of Adnan’s favorite films, The Lost Film (dir. Hadjithomas & Joreige, 2003), which follows the filmmakers as they track down a copy of their first feature film which disappeared in Yemen.
