RAMALLAH, West Bank : A rare film to be shot in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights proved a highlight of this year's six-day Palestine Cinema Days festival that ends on Monday, with hundreds flocking to watch the movie that has Syria's civil war as its backdrop.
Director and screenwriter Ameer Fakher Eldin said Adnan's experience is that of many Syrians separated from their home country in the Golan, territory that Israel captured in a 1967 war and later annexed in a move not recognised internationally. Fakher Eldin told Reuters that that experience had prompted him to ask"who do these wars belong to... and is it a war inside of us or not".At the start of Palestine Cinema Days, now in its eighth year, actors and filmmakers posed on the red carpet outside Ramallah's Cultural Palace in the occupied West Bank, in scenes typical of film festivals everywhere.
"We want to reach our audience in the different cities and towns," said festival spokesperson Khulood Badawi.
