Syria’s General Organization for Cinema ended filming a short documentary named “The Capital of Hope, the Capital of the Diaspora”, directed by Palestinian movie maker Mohamed Abu Mathana as part of a project to support youth cinema for 2018.
Speaking with AGPS, Abu Mathana said the film saw the day thanks to a grant offered by the General Organization of Cinema and the Damascus-based Ministry of Culture.
The shot film will be screened at the Youth Cinema Festival at the Opera House in May.
The film covers the humanitarian and socio-political situation in Yarmouk Camp from the very early stages of its founding and civilians’ hope to see the shelter reconstructed after it has gone into rubble in Syria’s seven-year warfare.
A set of interviews with the residents, Palestinian leaders, and relief officers also figure in the movie.
“It is high time we revived hope in the capital of the Diaspora”, said the movie maker.
