Features / Miscellaneous A city of contradictions: meet the people shaping Beirut's creative future

Beirut is a city of contradictions, both buoyed and bound by its past and present; the push and pull between its history and future is particularly acute in the divergent experiences of older and younger generations.

Sponsored / Miscellaneous Director Nick Ahlmark captures the thrills of night riding for Vice and Samsung

The final instalment of The Night series, created by Vice Sports for Samsung, follows downhill racing champion Katy Curd careering through the Forest of Dean on her bike after the sun has set. Shot by Nick Ahlmark, a documentary film maker who has worked for the likes of Al Jazeera, Ride The Night: Downhill into Darkness sees riders speed along narrow tracks as the forest emerges from and fades into the inky black of the night, illuminated by the lamps mounted on handlebars. Drones speed along, capturing the riders as they race along tracks, slashing through the darkness as the trees and foliage are reduced to a blur. “You can’t just rely on your sight. You rely on your natural instincts,” says Katy. “It brings on different emotions as you test your skills in a different way.”
