Cinematography
사이드는 영화 애호가로, 시리아 동부 구타에 있는 청년들을 가르치고자 하지만, 그가 마주하는 현실은 너무도 가혹하다. 그의 친구 밀라드와는 사실 가까운 거리에 있지만, 정권 통제로 인해 마치 지구 반대편에 떨어져 있는 듯하다. 어느 날, 밀라드는 머물던 곳을 떠나 계엄령 속에 살고 있는 사이드를 만나러 떠난다.
Director
The film depicts the last days of eastern Aleppo’s siege. Just before its fall, Milad Amin, residing in Beirut, follows up with his friend Ghith, an activist and photographer, who like so many other civilians still remains in the besieged city. Following Ghith via his camera through the ruins of the city, we hear the two friends talk about people’s situations while waiting for their fate amidst the fighting parties. The film is an intimate and personal recording of civilians’ sufferings during this time of siege, hunger, and war – and a recording of both the relationship of activists brought together during the civil movements and of the geographic distances that separate them due to violence, bombing, and killing.
