SUMMARY:Syria Shorts: Portraits from Dystopia - HRHW 2016
DESCRIPTION:Love during the Siege \nThey come in sinking boats. They hide in asphyxiating underbellies of trucks. Their lives are destroyed and their suffering left them with lack of means and choices. But along with the piece of land upon which they live\, they have access to a camera\, and some of them are making films. Through an hour of short films\, this session will introduce the daily struggle to survive and to resist by ordinary Syrian civilians. Through a mix of documentary and poetic expressions\, these films have been produced by people who dare to continue to hope\, to love\, and to stay alive. \nMeet Um Wassim and her family in their daily struggle to continue to live and love under the siege in the film Love during the Siege. Listen to Abu Al Tayeb\, in Sage\, narrating this period of uncertainty where only the sage tea is left to the Palestinians as a rite of belonging. Go on a walk in the streets of Damascus with Azza through a camera hidden in her purse\, in A Day and a Button. Follow the journey of the Syrian-Armenian opera singer Kevork from Armenia to Syria to Lebanon\, in the film 1915. \nThe films will be introduced by the Syrian Peace Action Centre (SPACE). \nSee the full program of Human Rights Human Wrongs Film Festival on www.hrhw.no

SUMMARY:Our Terrible Country - Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Our Terrible Country’ takes us on the perilous journey of Yassin Haj Saleh\, a well-known Syrian intellectual and dissident\, and the young photographer Ziad Homsi who travel together in an arduous and dangerous route from the liberated area of Douma/Damascus to Raqqa in northern Syria\, only to find themselves eventually forced to leave their home country for a temporary exile in Turkey. \nWhile Yassin was detained in 1980 at the age of twenty\, and remained imprisoned for 16 years\, he is also one of the few intellectuals who participated clandestinely in the Syrian uprising since its earliest days in 2011. However\, by mid-2013\, Yassin has to leave Damascus together with his wife Samira for the liberated city of Douma in the Eastern Ghouta\, where he meets the young filmmaker Ziad Homsi. \nGiven their encounter\, the idea of a filmed portray on Yassin develops between Ziad and Ali Atassi\, a Syrian filmmaker based in Beirut. But quickly\, a deep bond develops between the Syrian intellectual and the photographer from two different generations\, based on which Ziad decides to accompany and film Yassin on a difficult and dangerous journey towards Northern Syria. And thus\, the initial portray of Yassin turns into a film about the relationship between two generations who have been involved\, each in their own way\, since the beginning of the Revolution\, and reveals respectively their hopes\, deceptions and defeats. \nEn route to liberated Raqqa\, Yassin discovers that his hometown is under the control of the extremist Islamist organization ISIS (the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria)\, the organization that had kidnapped his two brothers.  Upon Yassin and Ziad’s arrival in Raqqa\, Ali joins them as to capture the developing relationship between the two. But given the brutality of both\, the Syrian regime and ISIS\, Yassin finds himself compelled to abandon his home town and to flee to Istanbul\, his place of reluctant and temporary exile\, while Ziad is arrested by ISIS on his way back south to Douma\, spending more than a month in prison\, after which he\, too\, leaves for Turkey. \nLiving in Turkey\, Yassin continues to pursue his reflection and analysis of Syrian political life. In exile and during the shooting of the film\, Yassin learns that his wife\, Samira Khalil\, was abducted in Douma on 10 December 2013\, at the same time as the human rights lawyer Razan Zeitouneh and two other activists. \nThe shooting of the film took more than a year in a number of regions in Syria and Turkey. The film\, and the fate of its characters\, represents the stages of the Syrian Revolution\, from its pacifist beginnings to its militarization\, the bombardment and destruction of cities by the Syrian Regime\, and the emergence of extremist Islamist currents and their quest to take hold of the revolution.\nProduction: Bidayyat Inhouse production\nProduction Year: 2014 \nSource: Bidayyat

SUMMARY:Palestinization of Syrian Refugees - Panel and film
DESCRIPTION:The situation for the refugees has become increasingly present in the Norwegian and European media over the last weeks and months. However\, the debate about the refugees is still being repeatedly depoliticized and reduced into a question of numbers only.\nIn this debate we will take as a point of departure the assertion that the influx of refugees is not the core of the problem; rather it is the outcome of a distorted world order.\nWe want to approach the discussion about the refugees by posing critical political and moral questions about the current global state of affairs\, immigration laws and the grave injustices that contribute to worsening the crisis\, with a special focus on the Syrian refugees’ case and the European and Norwegian response to these questions.\nWhy is the metaphor Palestinization of Syrian refugees relevant? What are the historical commonalities between the Palestinian refugees and Syrian refugees today? How do the refugee laws in neighboring countries affect the living conditions of Syrian refugees? How is the political debate in Norway framing the issue of Syrian refugees? These are some of the questions that will be addressed in the panel. \nHanne Heszlein-Lossius Medical doctor currently an intern doctor at Haraldsplass sykehus in Bergen. Henne also has a bachelor in journalism. She was part of a group of health care workers who started “Helsehjelp for papirløse” i Bergen\, a medical centre that provides medical care for immigrants in Bergen (papirløse innvandrere)\, also working there as a volunteer doctor. She started the Facebook page “Har du plass til en ekstra i hjemmet ditt” in May 2015 as a response to the ongoing debate on how Norway should help Syrian refugees. \n\n\nLine Khateeb is a Norwegian-Palestinian and was in the period 2008-2012 head of the Palestine Committee of Norway. The last three years she has been working in the Norwegian Organisation for Asylum seekers (NOAS)\, giving legal assistance and guidance to asylum seekers and doing policy work. She has a master in Middle Eastern studies from the University of Oslo. \n\n\nŞenay Özden is a cultural anthropologist and a researcher from Turkey. Her research areas include international migration\, refugees\, Turkish state’s refugee policies\, politics of humanitarian aid. She has numerous articles and reports published on Syrian refugees in Turkey. She is one of the founders of the Syrian Cultural House in Istanbul\, “Hamisch”. \n\nYassin al-Haj Saleh  is one of Syria’s most prominent intellectuals and political dissidents. In 1980\, while studying medicine in Aleppo University\, he was arrested by Hafez al-Assad regime because of his political activism. He remained in prison for 16 years (1980–1996). Yassin al-Haj Saleh writes on political\, social and cultural subjects relating to Syria and the Arab world. He has authored and edited five books about Syria. He is a co-founder of the Syrian online periodical “al-Jumhuriya” and the Syrian Cultural House in Istanbul “Hamisch”. He is a recipient of the Prince Claus Award for 2012. \n\nThe panel will be moderated by Jørgen Jensehaugen. \n\n\nThe panel is followed by a screening of On the Bride’s SideA Palestinian poet and an Italian journalist meet five Palestinians and Syrians in Milan who entered Europe via the Italian island of Lampedusa after fleeing the war in Syria. They decide to help them complete their journey to Sweden – and hopefully avoid getting themselves arrested as traffickers – by faking a wedding. With a Palestinian friend dressed up as the bride and a dozen or so Italian and Syrian friends as wedding guests\, they cross halfway over Europe on a four-day journey of three thousand kilometres. This emotionally charged journey not only brings out the stories and hopes and dreams of the five Palestinians and Syrians and their rather special traffickers\, but also reveals an unknown side of Europe – a transnational\, supportive and irreverent Europe that ridicules the laws and restrictions of the Fortress in a kind of masquerade which is no other than the direct filming of something that really took place on the road from Milan to Stockholm from the 14th to the 18th of November 2013.

SUMMARY:Syria Differently – The third Syrian narrative
DESCRIPTION:“Syria Differently” – The third Syrian narrative.\n12 February 2015 18:00 at Litteraturhuset \n\n			\n		\n				\n					\n				\n				\n					\n				\n				\n					\n				\n				\n					\n				\n				\n					\n				\n				\n			\n\n\nWith the picture of the Syrian struggle being blurred and the focus being shifted to Islamic extremism only\, it is important to bring back to the scene the increasingly neglected aspects of the Syrian ‘conflict’. “Syria Differently” provides an alternative image of Syria and the Syrian ‘conflict’ with thematic interest in the daily lives of ordinary civilians and their experience of the destruction of their country. \nProgram: \n18:00 We Cannot Go There Now\, My Dear (43 mins)\n19:00 Panel with Ziad Majed and Maren Næss Olsen (55 mins)\n20:00 The Immortal Sergeant (73 mins)\n21:30 False Alarm (58 mins) \nWe Cannot Go There Now\, My Dear\nA documentary film by Carol Mansour (2014) \nPalestinian refugees living in Syria have been severely affected by the war. Thousands have fled Syria seeking refuge in Lebanon becoming double-refugees. It is the second or even third time that they lose everything and find themselves once more homeless and stateless. \nThis film tells part of their story; where memories are awakened between one exodus and the other\, while loss invades everything striking the very self. A story where lives are continuously being rebuilt and improvised awaiting the return. \n \nPanel with Ziad Majed and Maren Næss Olsen:\nCovering Syria: images\, terminology\, and the role of Media \nA discussion about how most Media outlets covered Syria in the last three years\, and how this coverage influenced the emotions and the political stances of large segments of the public opinion in different western countries. \n \nZiad Majed is an Associate Professor at the American University of Paris\, teaching Middle East studies and writing on Lebanese\, Syrian and Arab affairs as well as on political Islam\, political transitions and crises. \n  \nThe Immortal Sergeant\nA documentary film by Ziad Kalthoum (2014) \n \nAfter he completed his mandatory military service\, the filmmaker was held in retention as the revolution unfurled in his country. His military rank was that of a sergeant. During these times\, he would go back to his home\, located in the middle of Damascus city\, take off his military uniform and return to his normal life\, working as an assistant director with the filmmaker Mohammed Malas. To make sense of this schizophrenic situation\, he decides to take his camera and start shooting a ‘making-of’ that will eventually go beyond Malas’ film. \nFalse Alarm\nA documentary film by Firas Zbib (2014) \nIt is a documentary about revolution\, exile\, death\, hope\, victory and defeat. Told by young Syrians\, filming each other’s journeys and holding on to their cameras like they were the only proof of existence\, it is a story about a country that has become unrecognizable to its own inhabitants. \nThe documentary follows them through the laughter and the tears\, until it is no longer clear whether they are happy to have found their freedom or sad that the revolution no longer resembles them. www.falsealarm-movie.com \n \nSponsor:\n \nPartners:
