A Round Table where the invited guests of the festival from all the participating countries will discuss this topic together with the public |

The Round Table is moderated by Jim Quilty
Jim Quilty is a Beirut-based Canadian journalist. He’s written about the politics, arts and cultural production in the Middle East for nearly a decade. The film critic of Beirut’s Daily Star newspaper, he’s also interested in the inter-relationship of politics and cultural production – both in the impact of politics [as most broadly defined] in conditioning the creative process and in how factors of political-economy facilitate and inhibit the production and reception of art. A fallen academic with a visceral contempt for jargon, he is a published fiction-writer and amateurish film programmer. Bewildered at the prospect of having to write another 209 words about himself, he cast about trying to recollect anything else he’s done that could possibly be worth mentioning. Stymied by the inconclusive results, he tried to remember any relevant acquaintance whose name could gratuitously be invoked to make this ever-more-fictive exercise in egoism seem mildly interesting. In the end, he was reduced to writing “Lives in Qasqas”. |
