A Day Less Than Ordinary In The City of Damascus

Obada Alhammami, Syria 2026, 65 min

 A cinematic human documentary titled "A Day Less Than Ordinary in the City of Damascus."

The film captures post-war trauma from the heart of Damascus, where "getting used to it" becomes a mirror reflecting the contradictions between love and loss, life and death.
It stands as an emotional visual testimony to a city that has taught its people that staying is an act of love, and that the land remains a living memory despite all the tragedies it has endured.
