Atlantis

Atlantis is a series of photographs shown in chronological order, depicting Yasser Arafat’s escape from Beirut (August 30–September 1, 1982). Atlantis was the name of the ship sent by the late Greek Prime Minister Papandreou to carry Arafat to Athens.

Fouad Elkoury's Atlantis is presented within The Persistence of Resistance in the Actualization of Memories From the Past​, the fourth of five chapters in Memories for Forgetfulness Elsewhere, an online film program curated by Irmgard Emmelhainz for e-flux Video & Film. The program streams in five thematic group screenings each two weeks long, and will be accompanied by two live discussions.
