"Safineh", sometimes I forget that Beirut is a Port, and it kills me to keep forgetting.
Safineh is the latest collaboration between Gabriel Ferneine, talented visual artist, and Trash Inc (i.e. Nabil Saliba, the music composer) around an inspirational video,
The edit was strictly made of footage taken from one particular spot on an Ashrafieh rooftop in Beirut, for the duration of 3 years. It shows some parts of Ashrafieh, but focuses on the main port of Lebanon: Beirut Port.
The short movie is called “Safineh”. Sometimes I forget that Beirut is a Port, and it kills me to keep forgetting.
The work is a simple art manifestation that tackles urban, societal and current topics, which is open for audience's self-explanation. Safineh is a reminder that Beirut is a port indeed and Beirut citizens tend to forget about it and take it for granted.
