Skilfully\\, though not always gently\\, she jabs a constant stream of cl ients with all kinds of injectables to temporarily reduce their facial wr inkles and frown lines. \\nDirector Omar Mismar films the patients from a fixed position as they recline on the white plastic-wrapped treatment t able. Young and old\\, women and men\\, from housewives to hip influencer s\\, it seems like the whole country is voluntarily undergoing these pain ful and gory treatments\\, all of which are shown in closeup. \\nDuring the treatment\\, the threat of war is a regular topic. Will war break out ? Will you go and fight? Mixedup memories of wars and explosions reveal h ow violence has been an almost constant presence in the lives of Beirut s inhabitants for decades. \\nBouba’s medicine is rough humour and a magic injection. As one customer aptly puts it: “Most people in line he re are tired and unhappy. Bouba takes the pain from inside and works on i t from the outside.” \\nThe screening will open with an extended intro duction by a Glasgow-based artist.\\nCurated by Huss.\\n \\;\\nClick here to book your ticket for this event.\\nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\\, £4\\, £8\\, £12\\, £16\\, or £20\\, in order to make SQIFF more accessible to those on a low income.
