En syrisk stjernes revolution

Dokumentaren skildrer mange års revolution og krig, fortalt igennem den kendte syriske skuespiller Fares Helou. Fares’ liv blev vendt på hovedet, da han deltog i folkeprotesterne i Damaskus’ gader og forlangte en ny syrisk regering. Han måtte omgående gå under jorden, og instruktør Rami Farah fulgte ham i skjul med sit kamera. Da Fares senere flygtede fra Syrien til Frankrig, fulgte Rami ligeså med. Hverken skuespiller eller instruktør havde dog et manuskript til dette nye kapitel i deres liv, eksiltilværelsen. Et kapitel præget af spørgsmål, skuffelse og fremmedgørelse, såvel som absurditeter og kulturelle misforståelser, der giver plads til flygtige grin. A Comedian in a Syrian Tragedy er en intim skildring af psykisk vold og eksiltilværelsen, som det opleves af instruktøren selv og hans yndlingsskuespiller. Film will be followed by a debate with the director Rami Farah and the famous Syrian actor Fares Helou who was the main character of the film, the talk will be moderated by Lilas Hatahet from IMS. After the debate people can have some food and drinks to celebrate the opening of the festival.

A Comedian in a Syrian Tragedy

This documentary film is a chronicle of a revolution and war, experienced by the famous Syrian actor Fares Helou. Fares’ life changed radically when he joined the people in the streets of Damascus calling for the fall of the Syrian regime. He immediately had to go underground and director Rami Farah joined him in hiding with a camera. When Fares had to flee from Syria to France Rami followed him. However, neither the actor nor the director had a script for the new chapter in their lives: exile. A chapter full of questions, disappointments and alienation, but also of absurdity and cultural confusion that calls for laughter.
