DAMASCUS WITH LOVE

 Syria, 2010, 95 mins, Director: Muhammed Abdulaziz

When her father reveals a hidden secret, a Syrian-Jewish woman called Rima, decides not to follow through on her plans to emigrate but opts to stay and explore her family's past. Her journey of discovery reveals that Damascus has many memories, human stories, histories and cultures, and above all, that it has a diversity of communities who live together in firm and rare harmony.

Curated by Ziad Khatlan. Ziad Khatlan is a film critic, author and film festival jurist. He was a jury member for the Gulf Film Festival (2009); Chief Programmer for the Dubai International Film Festival (2005); and a Senior Editor of Al-Quds Online (2008–2010).
