GSFF 2016 || Focus on Syria

Exactly five years after the Syrian conflict began, we don’t all pretend to understand its complexities but we do think we know what it looks like. Pro-regime troops, insurgents, ISIS fighters, besieged citizens and stateless refugees; all are familiar from our daily news sources. This special programme brings together work produced within Syria and by Syrian exiles in recent months, presenting a startling range of voices and a deeper collective truth about life in the shadow of war.

The screening will be introduced by Christin Luettich of Bidayyat for Audiovisual Arts, a Syrian non-profit organisation launched in early 2013 to support and produce Syrian filmmakers.
