'2mg of Rotten Blood on Pure White Snow' a video by Rami Sabbagh
It's mid '80s in Beirut; the city is at war. A group of young men wearing neat black clothing wander around it by night. They occupy empty houses for a few hours and gather what they can of the furniture. In the darkness of the night, they move the goods to the mountains and sell them back to their owners. Each night after midnight, the young men meet in an empty movie theatre. There they watch films, smoke cigarettes, discuss cinema, and receive orders from an old man. “I have one thing to tell you: one of these days I am going to cut myself into dear little frames, feed them into a live transmission. Alive again.” [Video, 25 minutes, Arabic with English subtitles]
