Unlocking the Doors of Cinema
Unlocking Doors of Cinema explores the fifty years of artistic contribution of the daring Syrian auteur Muhammad Malas, as a filmmaker and intellectual from a country that, to most readers, has become a metaphor for war, refugees, and geo-political conflict.
A Syrian Woman
After nearly a decade of conflict, Syrian refugee women are some of the most vulnerable amid the crisis. Thousands have lost their families and husbands, and now must provide for their children, alone in an unfamiliar country. In this short film, six Syrian women living in Jordan recount their personal stories of survival – from displacement, child-marriage, and trauma, to their resilience and hope to rebuild a better future for their children.
