​​Filmmakers and artists Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige work with photography, installation, performance, video and film, questioning the fabrication of images and representations, the construction of imaginaries, and the writing of history. Their long-term research is based on personal or political documents, traces of the invisible, and the absent in stories kept secret, like the latencies of wars, a forgotten space project, the geological and archaeological undergrounds of cities, and the strange consequences of internet scams and spam. Their award-winning films include Memory Box (2021), Ismyrna (2016), The Lebanese Rocket Society (2012), Je Veux Voir (2008), and A Perfect Day (2005). The pair received the prestigious Marcel Duchamp Prize in 2017 for their artistic project Unconformities. Hadjithomas and Joreigeare are both very involved in Lebanon’s cultural structures, such as Correspondences, Metropolis, and Cinémathèque Beirut.
