No. As faces, they were waiting to be saved. Far better than any surgical face-lift or digital retouching, it was the physical removal of part of the poster of the face of one candidate so that the face of another candidate would partially appear under it; as well as the accretions of posters and photographs over each other that produced the most effective face-lift, and that proved a successful face-saver for all concerned. We have in these resultant recominant posters one of the sites where Lebanese culture in specific, and Arabic culture in general, mired in an organic view of the body, in an organic body, exposes itself to inorganic bodies."--Jalal Toufic. 538 $a VHS (PAL). 655 7 $a Documentary films $z Lebanon. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Short films $z Lebanon. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Silent films $z Lebanon. $2 gsafd 700 1 $a Toufic, Jalal. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n91101827 941 $a 1 945 $a vhs 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180111042040.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=42BEE6DAF69E11E78A00251D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
