A film and video work that addresses the issues of the Middle East will screen at 5 p.m. today in the Meacham Auditorium of the Oklahoma Memorial Union.

“Witness to Love” combines the work of video artist Jayce Salloum and independent filmmaker Abraham Ravett.

“Students of the Middle East will hear from individuals with vested interests in the region but who have developed sophisticated ways of addressing their concerns,” Bernard Roddy, time-based media OU professor, said in a press release.

Salloum, who is part Lebanese, made his contribution for the Palestinians. Salloum has worked in drawing, performance, installation, photography, text and film since 1976.

Ravett, who is Jewish, made his film for the project about his parents who survived concentration camps during the Holocaust. Ravett has been a filmmaker for 30 years, and has presented his films at national and international festivals.

Both artists will be available on Campus Corner for discussions about the screening. Ravett will be at Victoria’s Pasta Shop at noon before the screening and Salloum will be at La Luna at 7:30 p.m. after the screening.
