===================

About Ayouni ==================== The families of two missing civilian activists in Syria speak out in a film, which uses words to give the invisible victims of the war a face. SYNOPSIS Noura and Machi search for answers about their loved ones – Bassel Safadi and Paolo Dall’Oglio, who are among the over 100,000 forcibly disappeared in Syria. Faced with the limbo of an overwhelming absence of information, hope is the only thing they have to hold on to. ‘Ayouni’ is a deeply resonant Arabic term of endearment – meaning ‘my eyes’ and understood as ‘my love’. Filmed over 6 years and across multiple countries in search of answers, Ayouni is an attempt to give numbers faces, to give silence a voice, and to make the invisible undeniably visible

========================= About Al Nisa' ========================= Al-Nisāʾ portrays a group of Syrian women gathered in a workshop space in Berlin. They are together to work on issues around integration, human rights and homeland. Common for them all are their questions and solutions to issues of the Arabic woman in a new country. Common for them is the homeland of Syria. Al-Nisāʾ is a documentary art film made on 16mm consisting of fragments of the stories of the women, music from the region where they were born and images of the women working together - piecing together the fragments into a story about the lives of the women.
