J’ai vu le « full documentary » ce soir et c’est vraiment un témoignage incroyable... moi qui déteste le metal, qui ne supporte même pas 1 minute de ces sons que je trouve inaudibles... eh bhein, j’ai adoré le film, et ces musiciens qui contre tout et tout le monde, malgré la guerre, les bombes et les snipers, se retrouvent sous-terre à faire des concerts, à Alep, à Homs, ou dans d’autres villes détruites par la guerre.
Chapeau.
C’est un magnifique témoignage de comment #la_vie_continue, malgré la #guerre et la #destruction, dit un musicien.
C’est triste de savoir que ce film n’a passé la barre d’aucun festival. Un gars qui film la scène underground alors que les bombes lui tombent sur la tête, et ceci pour montrer la vie et la résilience, avec en plus des images de grande qualité compte des circonstances, aucun festival ne lui ouvre la porte ? C’est plus que triste, en fait, c’est... je ne sais même pas ce que c’est...
Voici ce qu’il a écrit dans la page YouTube :
The film is in no means extensive; it was filmed with a mobile phone and DSLR. Production, travelling, filming, and editing were minimal and utilized DIY methods. It was a personal endeavour and hence naturally limited to my own resources. The footage and project traveled with me across continents, starting in Syria and following through to Algeria, Turkey, Greece, and the Netherlands. I carried it with me while applying for asylum, and it kept me going despite being entirely depleted of both will and resources to continue. Sam Zamrik believed in the project since its conception and its possible effects in bringing exposure to this small, down-trodden Syrian community. He worked on the linguistic presentation of the film, including interviews, translations, and creative writing. Through crowd funding efforts, our friends in Switzerland managed to raise enough money for gear to edit and actually finish the film. Having finalized the film, my intent was to submit it to international festivals, since they would bring the most exposure to the artists. The intended runtime was two hours, but, having to accommodate festivals standards, I cut that to an hour and a half. Despite doing that, it wasn’t accepted. After several tries, I decided to bring the film to its audience; those who are truly interested, who have donated and supported us, and those in the film themselves. The film is now on YouTube. It is accessible to everyone for free. It now belongs to you and what you make of it. Having said that, we will be wholeheartedly accepting donations to the film, as opposed to ticket sales or any revenue.

Je mets aussi le tag #ressources_pédagogiques, pour quand ça sera sous-titré en français, espérons-le...
