Marwa Arsanios Screens 'Who Is Afraid Of Ideology? Part 4' at Art Lovers Movie Club

Marwa Arsanios, a Beirut-based filmmaker and artist, showcased her film 'Who Is Afraid Of Ideology? Part 4: Reverse Shot' (2022) at the Art Lovers Movie Club from May 23 to June 13, 2025. This 35-minute piece, set in both Lebanon and Germany, explores the idea of Al Masha, or shared communal land. It highlights Arsanios and her team's efforts to turn a northern Lebanese quarry into common land. The film intertwines documentary scenes of olive harvesting with surreal animations, prompting conversations about private property versus communal resources. Arsanios connects the themes of inheritance and resistance to geological processes. This work is part of a continuing series that began in 2017, which has also addressed resistance movements in Syria and Colombia.
