DESCRIPTION:Pacific Film Archive, THU DEC 7\n2006  5:30 pm\n\nIntensive Care \n(Free 
 Screening!)\nFree First Thursday Screening! Tickets available at the PFA 
 Theater\nstarting at 4:30\nNamed after a haunting short film by Hatice 
 Güleryüz, this\nprogram presents troubling situations and contradictory 
 emotional\nstates related to violence. In Intensive Care, 
 Güleryüz\ncontrasts the violence of a boy's circumcision with the 
 peaceful\nexpression on his face, a stunning contradiction. Vlatko Gilic's 
 In\nContinuo presents orchestrated bloodshed in an old slaughterhouse\nas a 
 metaphor for the continual shedding of blood in history. In\nUs/Nihna, 
 Danielle Arbid accompanies her father's coffin on its\nway to burial in 
 Beirut; another first-person work, Rabih Mroué's\nSide A/Side B, revisits 
 old audiotapes Mroué's family recorded\nfor his brother in the Soviet 
 Union, leading to thoughts on received\nvalues of communism, resistance, 
 and martyrdom. Lasting Images\nis a moving document taken from an 
 installation by Joana Hadjithomas\nand Khalil Joreige, based on a 
 rediscovered Super 8 film shot by\nJoreige's uncle, who was kidnapped in 
 Beirut in 1985 and never\nreturned. The program also includes Hussein 
 Chalayan's After\nWords, Anri Sala's Nocturnes, and Matei Glass's 
 Magnetic\nIdentities, filmed in a tunnel between Gaza and Israel 
 where\nPalestinians crossing to work run a gauntlet of 
 security\nprocedures.\n\nIntensive Care (Hatice Güleryüz, Turkey, 2001, 2
