EXCLUSIF : la bande-annonce de The Other Side of the Sun, sélectionné au Panorama
- Le réalisateur syrien Tawfik Sabouni retourne dans la prison de Saydnaya avec quatre autres survivants et en transforme avec eux le souvenir traumatisant en mémoire collective
Cet article est disponible en anglais.
Years after his release from Saydnaya, the notorious Syrian prison known as “the other side of the sun”, filmmaker Tawfik Sabouni returns there following the fall of Assad’s regime in December 2024. Joined by four fellow survivors, he revisits the spaces where they were detained and stages restrained re-enactments of their daily rituals and survival strategies. Filmed inside the former prison, the documentary transforms these gestures into testimony, giving voice not only to the five men, but also to the thousands who did not survive and whose families still seek answers.
This the premise of Sabouni’s documentary The Other Side of the Sun [+lire aussi :
