Overview

Introduction to the End of an Argument is a landmark experimental film created by Lebanese-Canadian artist Jayce Salloum and Palestinian filmmaker Elia Suleiman, who is based in New York. The work methodically excavates the accumulated — and often distorted — impressions of the Palestinian Intifada as constructed through Western film and television, tracing the genesis of these misrepresentations back to their media origins. A sharp and incisive deconstruction of visual rhetoric, the film challenges viewers to interrogate what they think they know and where those images come from.
