Memory & Identity
Through revisiting old photographs, videos and letters, these filmmakers have rekindled suppressed memories to invite an exploration of their identity, ancestry and relationship with the past.
Cof a Hunaniaeth
Trwy gyfeirio at hen ffotograffau, fideos a llythyrau, mae'r gwneuthurwyr ffilm hyn wedi aildanio atgofion cuddiedig i ennyn archwiliad o'u hunaniaeth, eu hachau a'u perthynas â'r gorffennol.
Nearly 10 years after the beginning of the Syrian revolution, three exiled activists reunite on a theatre stage in Paris. Director Rami Farah confronts the three men with their own harrowing protest footage, evoking a collective memory of life under the regime. By rekindling a traumatic past, Farah offers these citizen journalists a say in how their story is presented. Grieving the friends and country they have lost, they implore the world to bear witness and never forget what happened there... yet for them, the eternal question remains: How do you survive? By remembering or by forgetting?

Bron i 10 mlynedd ar ôl dechrau’r chwyldro yn Syria, mae tri ymgyrchwr sydd wedi’u halltudio yn aduno ar lwyfan theatr ym Mharis. Mae'r cyfarwyddwr Rami Farah yn dangos y dynion eu ffilmiau protest dirdynnol nhw eu hunain, gan ddwyn i gof atgofion cyfunol o fywyd o dan y gyfundrefn. Trwy ailgynnau gorffennol trawmatig, mae Farah yn cynnig llais i'r dinasyddion a newyddiadurwyr hyn o ran y modd y caiff eu stori ei chyflwyno. Maen nhw’n galaru am eu gwlad ac am y ffrindiau maen nhw wedi’u colli, ac maen nhw’n erfyn ar y byd i fod yn dyst a byth i anghofio beth ddigwyddodd yno... eto iddyn nhw, erys y cwestiwn tragwyddol: Sut ydych chi'n goroesi? Trwy gofio neu drwy anghofio?
