 artist and curator who lives and works in Beirut, Lebanon. The author of 
 more than 30 videos and video installations, Zaatari has been exploring 
 issues pertinent to the Lebanese condition, particularly the mediation of 
 territorial conflicts and wars through television and the logic of 
 religious and national resistance, as in his documentary All is Well on the 
 Border (1997). He is also interested in the circulation and production of 
 images in the context of the geographical division of the Middle East, as 
 seen in his feature length films This Day (2003) and In this House (2005). 
 Zataari is co-founder of the Arab Image Foundation (Beirut), and has 
 contributed articles to scholarly journals such as Third Text, Bomb, 
 Framework, Transition, and Parachute. In addition to his presentation at 
 SFAI, San Francisco Cinematheque at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts will 
 present a screening and discussion on December 3 of Zataari's Military 
 Culture, a curated series of short films and videos from Syria, Turkey, 
 Palestine, and Israel.\n\n
