About the Filmmaker

Rami Farah is from a young generation of Syrian filmmakers. He studied dance in Damascus, trained at the Amman Arab Institute, and has participated in many training courses and workshops in contemporary film and dance. Rami presents a rare understanding of audiovisual materials which can be traced to his moving between video and dance. Rami made his first film ZamKan in 2004, which was a very short video about a dialogue between a ceiling fan and a chair in a silent room. His following production was Point, a short video that was presented in a number exhibitions and international festivals. After graduating from the Arab institute in 2007, he produced his 35 minute documentary entitled Silence.
