Shabab Souri (Syrian Youth) 2008

In 2008, Damascus was declared "the capital of Arab culture". I was very fortunate to win a production grant in connection with the ensuing festival, which enabled me to make a personal short film. I seized the chance to present some reflections I had been thinking about for some time, and the result was "Syrian Youth", a film that critiques the absurd reality that young people of Syrian mainstream live daily, apparently without noticing the time passing.

Toolkit: Puppets, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects.
