NEZOUH (Syria)
August 5, 2023 ::: NEZOUH is a 2022 British-Syrian-French drama film written and directed by Soudade Kaadan. The film premiered in the Horizons Extra section of the 79th edition of the Venice Film Festival, winning the Audience Award. This gentle film suggests that accounts of life during wartime in Syria can be about matters other than death – namely hope, love, teenage reverie, and the comedy of family life.
