Synopsis

The documentary feature 'Queens of Syria' tells the story of fifty women from Syria, all forced into exile in Jordan, who came together in Autumn 2013 to create and perform their own version of the Trojan Women, the timeless Ancient Greek tragedy all about the plight of women in war. What followed was an extraordinary moment of cross-cultural contact across millennia, in which women born in 20th century Syria found a blazingly vivid mirror of their own experiences in the stories of a queen, princesses and ordinary women like them, uprooted, enslaved, and bereaved by the Trojan War.

Synopsis

The tragic tale of sixteen-year-old Paul Varderman’s downward spiral into knife crime. We learn of Paul’s untimely death at the beginning of the film and are then taken on a journey through Paul’s memories as he tries to make sense of how he came to be involved with Roth and his gang, and how he came to be in possession of the knife, the knife that killed him. Fear is the overriding emotion in the coarse, graffiti littered playground for Paul and his peers; fear of not fitting in, fear of being misunderstood and worst of all, fear of appearing afraid. This compelling story is brought to life in a truly original fashion - 100% CGI, with a unique and innovative visual style. Rome Film Festival 2014 - World premiere
