Syria
13 min | 2008
The online presentation of films from „Arab Shorts 2009” on this site ended by 31 December 2011.
Joud Said searches for a short story of cinema in Syria, for film festivals that have changed many lives, for a cinema that has lured a young generation to see its reflection in a pool of water, and that years later finds itself alone, in a theatre.
