Introduction to the End of an Argument
A substantive short!

Think this really well typifies the style of Suleiman’s early directorial works. He seems to be less concerned with informing you of events in a sequential, narrative sense then he is with affording you the necessary frame of reference to understand what it’s like to emotionally experience the topics the films are about, instead of quite experiencing the topics themselves directly if that makes sense. Very internal cinema. Perhaps this rubbed off on him from Jayce Salloum?
