Director and activist, Christian Ghazi (1934-2013) began his career making dozens of commissioned films in Lebanon, mostly centered on the struggles of resistance fighters, refugee camp dwellers, tobacco farmers, and factory workers. One Hundred Faces for a Single Day (Mi'at Wajeh Li Yawm Wahed) (1972), Ghazi’s experimental 16mm film which combines documentary footage with abstract sequences, weaving together disjointed plots and overlapping storylines.
