Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre presents a video art and documentary event over 3 days in April 2012. Lives in Montage: Beirut is a partnership with Beirut DC, an independent video / film collective based in Lebanon.
Beirut DC was founded in Beirut, Lebanon in 1999 by a group of cinema professionals and art advocates. The aim of Beirut DC is to provide support to Arab independent filmmakers in overcoming the constraints facing independently-minded Arab cinema in a region where individuality is generally restricted.
