p.s. beirut--chapter 1 2

“The true picture of the past flits by. The past can be seized only as an image which flashes up at the instant when it can be recognized and is never seen again."—Walter Benjamin
　　Director Michael Shamberg is a legendary producer of music videos, having brought artists like Robert Frank and Chris Marker together with musicians like New Order and Patti Smith. He is also a filmmaker and impresario who’s been struggling valiantly to keep connecting since being afflicted with mitochondrial disease. This fragile and intense film concerns his own corporeal civil war, bombings in Lebanon, Romanesque churches, and life trying to make sense of itself. Music by Markus Acher of The Notwist, Electrelane and New Order.
