Is there such a thing as a Syrian audience ? 23 December 2020
Syrian journalist and trainer, PhD candidate in media.
This is a conversation that took place in Amsterdam between Orwa Nyrabia co-founder of Dox Box, Proaction Film and No Nation Films, and current artistic director of the International Documentary Film Festival of Amsterdam (IDFA) and Maya Abyad, a journalist, film director and colleague of Mr. Nyrabia. It is the most recent part of a longer discussion maturing between them over a longer period of time.
The conversation was edited for flow.
We’ve had discussions, with you and other cineastes and writers, about the new wave of Syrian cinema, in relation to revolution, exile, representation, censorship and production industry dynamics.
