Program
Focus: Abounaddara
Cinema of Urgency
A former documentary producing company, founded in Damascus in 2010, Abounaddara is (as off April 2011, a month after the beginning of the Syrian war) a collective of anonymous directors whose work is carried out within the urgency framework - urgency to intervene, to film the daily life of a country at war, and to be an alternative to the traditional media linked to the government of Bashar Al-Assad. These films are made on the voices and images of the people and on its variety (from interviews to video clips). They are the outcome (in progress) of one of the most singular type of contemporary cinematographic practices within the urgency framework - cinema as weapon and shield.
