Fictions et documentaires
Here is a unique opportunity to discover the work and ideas of a Syrian filmmaker and political activist who has declared that “Any truth is suspicious as long as human conscience and History do not question it. I fluctuate between documentary and fiction because deep down I tend to play around with uncertainty and to ‘tickle’ ambiguity. Yes, that’s a good way to put it: I want to ‘tickle’ life…”
