Inside Lebanon--Architect Bernard Khoury

Описание: Portrait of architect Bernard Khoury who speaks about his inspiration behind the nightclub B018.

This is a short documentary clip from the documentary "Tomorrow We Will See" which offers a window into how ten artists in Lebanon are using art as a tool to question sectarian divisions while encouraging freedom of thought.

Against the backdrop of Lebanon’s scars from wars, and socio-political scars created from sectarian divisions, Lebanese artists continue to contribute to the creative community despite the uncertainties of what tomorrow may bring.

A rock band's thought-provoking lyrics, a poet's description of time shrinking, an architect's experimental manipulation of space, a novelist's language of the female body, and a painter's reflections on his choice of colors, reveal the process by which the featured artists transform ideas, sketches, spaces into vibrant and dynamic works of art while describing what the expression ‘Bukra Minshouf’ (‘Tomorrow We Will See’) means to them.
