Debate: Cinema Industry in Syria
In recent years, Syrian cinema has become internationally famous and the topics it discussed are related to the situation in the country and the ongoing war there, as well as shed light on the asylum and the suffering associated with it. The question is what will be the future of Syrian cinema, whether inside Syria or in the countries of asylum. What are the new topics that you will address and what are the obstacles that you may face. We met the Syrian famous actor Fares Helou, the director Rami Farah and the writer and producer Alisar Hassan, to hear form them about the Syrian Cinema and its history, how to improve it and what the possible future for the new generation of Syrian filmmakers.
