filmmakers and Damascus
"in search of a place absent"
the film, Jada, We met and he invited me to attend the film
liked in the first meeting, our vision of converged quickly .. Easily charge and we dealt with topics interest me .. Cinema, literature, photography, lighting, dance, women and cities! Invited me To view and agreed
- I want your opinion .. - Hamas had asked my opinion!
- Well ..
in an extended night, and good tasting food we've had in the house of old, turning a restaurant .. We talked a long time, intensity and depth, we dealt with all subjects. Is a beautiful night, been reflected in the streets of Bab Touma, Damascus, on the streets of the old, and neighborhoods full of nostalgia and nostalgia left for building huge, beautiful, dominant ..
attended the movie ..!
again Damascus .. Film another Syrian, Damascus .. Damascus, lanes, alleys, and the fountain, jasmine, bitter orange, and pistols, and the Pentagons, and vines and cats sleepy! Astvzi, we discussed again, And he said quietly, and the argument can not be Dhouddha
is a film based memory location, said an advocate! And I said (the movie heavy, paralyzed memory location)
memory location
banned from holy expression of the violation, Governor until it rots! Tmlkk single, Tdilk language, you have that magic Tkhcg before the statement, and domination, and the sanctity of that word, and does not seem so insensitive, non-existent professionals, Dry Passion! Respects the desire of a friend Film .. And leave it alone, for his reflections, and Thoemath .. It
"loves cinema, which establishes the memory of the place!"
memory actually is a movie! Script written by Says every story, tells the modern memory, the story of another place, he devoted himself welding it, and aesthetic values .. Welding devoted himself to Damascus, a city with ancient houses of the extinct encouraged traders Who will turn their homes into restaurants .. The spirit of crying, emotional, moan! Is a film that has not only lived the slums of the city, its suburbs and the best way, defends the architecture of the centrifuge Memory and stone houses, and Bhradtha, and Iasameenha Wal Oh Alh ..
has occupied its dominance, charm and delusion, and the power of concepts form the picture, the gene ..
but a moment of sincerity, not intolerance I asked myself another question: did Odza the desire of our friend's film project, maintaining the old place of Damascus, and belonging to the place of charming beauty of Damascus? Puzzles me is not, Raises exceedingly mad against, and was curious desire of belonging to the beauty and preserve it, and claim Pthanith, and booked in a condition called memory?
then called the "memory" the following story, which inspired me Some of the answer ..
the writer of these lines once in Paris, the oldest capitals of the earth and the most perfect .. I remember my arrival in alleys and alleys, and bars, and endless nights, the Capital tourists, OTCBB shelves for thousands of people of all nationalities, without heed, or changes in the rhythm thing, but the departure, which is I, I experienced her companions from the French: "I attacked the Long history of this city of Almstagelin tourists who do not understand the flavor and originality of the city and the magnificent architecture, flowers, and Baha, and the cleanliness of alleys and .. Etc.
my observation became a joke, "I'm jealous, Her aesthetic sense "My comment was received ultra-funny joke in the face of the French themselves, when all persecution practiced by the city and its people against me, I am requesting, impoverished, alien, Arab, in excess of the place, Daiya, jealous, sensitive! And, following qualities centrifugal from the center, even the suburbs, from the street until the metro, from the restaurant until the pavement .. And understood all Thing, I learned the hardest lesson ..
Paris, which did not appear in the form of tourism but American movies, and appeared in French films as it is, its poverty, and the ugliness of their homes, and their response, and moisture Buildings, Sinmaha taught me, and my lessons life has taught me the hardest!
whenever Adthdtk places, Nbztk, approached them, and tried to get them to accept, Vtchrisha, devoted its mistakes, The credentials have, you're the protector, loving, approved, blessed! Afraid not, being devoted to make Castaway, errors places, because you are strange, strange place not on the lemon, In fact belongs to the place, the same welding concentrates the place ..
the other hand, natural citizen, belonging without bravado or claim, act, and the disposal of French President Mitterrand! The spirit of Affiliation Real, acknowledged Mitterrand, Mitterrand insisted, that going Bamartha Paris, enormous strides towards modernity and the third millennium, was the "Aldivans" glass, "Cold Alriputep" , Corresponding the most arrogant, and different, and extreme Ahaenzilsais to Paris and the Stone Arch victory compassionate ..
thus acting in the place holders when Omkinthm catered to, and love, and belong .. They dare to places, Evtaatunha, they study, they bring to life a new spirit, and the crossing of times to the future!
but this did not happen in Damascus, in the movies film Damascus, all this did not happen with the population, Sinmaieha, and Roaieha, and Cecchelleha, the Prosecutor of the love of the villagers, migrants, and residents of other cities .. Nbzthm city's long, demanding By enshrining! Thrown them to the suburbs, Vngnoa Bozktha dark, and the entrances to their homes central narrow, Amomp! Damascus Almatacp the integrity of the old architecture until the end .. Under ARTISTS The population of absorbing sugar antique places, and Bisqon Alqam slums, and sang .. Blouhathm, and Sinmahm, and their stories and their music to places not open to them, except when their homes became Restaurants, and architecture, cafes ..!
Damascus has been sitting as an icon and a perfect picture of a place inhabited by Alnustga, and sits in memory ..
a place not yet been debated, he did not propose an alternative aesthetic, or even Alternative complement, the fear of them, and they fear criticism, and Vkvictha, discussion, and to play a modern heart and mind, and conscience .. They were afraid of them, stepped down so as not labeled on charges of sabotage, because they have been By strangers, strangers Vobakthm it .. Spent in the films by the Film the current year's budget, the celebrated Damascus, Damascus, disappeared again, and appeared Apostasy, apostasy in the vision, and emancipation Museum, travel incognito under the building, no longer celebrated only by a strange city and its tourists, disappeared Damascus truth and reality film from the imagination of Syria, as it used to disappear in Movies, mostly, lost opportunities once again freshness, and modern thought, and that belong to the high quality of life, a search for answers in the fifties of last century!
place where the truth in the cinema Syria, where Damascus in the Syrian cinema? And how I told Damascus? Do what appeared in the films to come our city is the truth?
in Damascus, capital of culture, celebrated everyone's memory, The fact disappeared, disappeared the present .. In turn transmit the memory!
did not dare one of us, the inhabitants of that ancient city, a discussion of the place, the dismantling of the place, satires, hatred, analysis, Or even criticism, criticism of architecture, or even offer an alternative?
Why was dealing with the city of Damascus Almolhp film that spirit, refusing to accountability? Why not discuss the architecture, And life Bmndzha Damascene moment, divided between the House Tourism extinct, which has become either restaurants, or improvised Okachinat Series purification, concerts and divorce, and marriage? Or partition the other dusty Pfaudhah, and Ismonth, and the ugliness of his building, and the lack of services ..
Sinmaieona Did he fear of another rejection, and other charges, Vchrisoa, what should not be devoted? And a throwback to the fifties The last century in search for answers .. Search for Damascus?
