Dr Fakhouri carried with him wherever he went two Super 8 mm film cameras. On one camera, he exposed a frame of film every time he thought the Lebanese wars ended. On the other, he exposed a frame of film every time he came across the sign for a doctor’s or dentist’s office. He titled the two films Miraculous beginnings and No, illness is neither here nor there.
