Guided tour of the temporary exhibition: CUT/GASH/SLASH – Adachi Masao – A Militant Theory of Landscape

The filmmaker, screenwriter, film theorist, artist, and political activist Adachi Masao (b. 1939) is considered a leading figure in Japanese New Wave Cinema. He also spent 27 years in the Middle East. The aim of this exhibition is to reintroduce Adachi Masao to the Lebanese public following his eighteen-year absence from Lebanon (2001–2019). While his name may be familiar within certain Arab political and cultural circles, Masao’s art, films, books, and film theories are much less known or studied.
