Full Program: http://syff.ca/syff-2018/

Five compelling documentaries shape SYFF this year, telling powerful stories of Syrian struggle, triumph and defeat. Witness art in the midst of carnage along with resilience in the face of war and destruction.

Some highlights from the program:

ANOTHER NEWS STORY: Surrounded by thousands of refugees, each with their own harrowing and unique story, director Orban Wallace does the unthinkable: he opts to turn the lens on the journalists there to capture the contemporary migration crisis as it unfolds

SILENT WAR: This difficult but important film documents the stories of women sexually assaulted by regime soldiers and pro-government militias during Syria"s now seven-year-long uprising.

TASTE OF CEMENT: See the acclaimed visual masterpiece documentary on the big screen at our first-time afternoon screening.
