ESCLUSIVA: Il trailer di The Other Side of the Sun, selezionato nella sezione Panorama della Berlinale
- Il cineasta siriano Tawfik Sabouni torna nel carcere di Saydnaya insieme ad altri quattro sopravvissuti, trasformando il trauma condiviso in una memoria collettiva
Questo articolo è disponibile in inglese.
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 [+leggi anche:
