Description

Film screening and discussion with Charif Kiwan, Spokesperson, Abounaddara, Syrian Film Collective

Since 2011, Abounaddara, an anonymous group of Syrian filmmakers, has released a weekly film on the web, spotlighting the lives of individual Syrians in the war. Since 2013, they have been campaigning for the "Right to the Image": maintaining the dignified image of the Syrian people instead of depictions of bodies and war shown in the more mainstream media.

Presented by the Global Borders Research Collaborative in MIT Global Studies and Languages, in conjunction with the French Initiatives Endowment Fund, MISTI-Arab World, Comparative Media Studies/Writing, and The Office of the Associate Provost.
