Jayce Salloum and Elia Suleiman, Introduction to the End of an Argument (1990)

Made by the Lebanese-Canadian video artist Jayce Salloum and the Palestinian filmmaker Elia Suleiman, Introduction to the end of an argument deals with the distorted picture we have of Arab culture in general and of the Intifada – the Palestinian resistance to Israel’s occupation – in particular. Salloum and Suleiman have combined and confronted fragments of image and text taken from Hollywood, European and Israeli films, documentaries and news items with material Salloum personally recorded in Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip.
