Algerian writer expresses her pride at her experience with Syrian artists

The Algerian screenwriter Abla Belamri  was astonished  by the Syrian art world  and considered  it an incubating environment through which she  presents  her productions in the field of cinematic and dramatic writing. 

 

The social film “Oh, my mother,” was the first work by  the writer Belamri in Syrian cinema, to be followed by other ones in drama.

 

The screenwriter is currently preparing for the completion of a series about the life of the famous Algerian fighter  Abdul Qader Al-Jazaery in Damascus, where he lived for 27 years. The TV series is  directed by Muhammad Nasrallah.

 

She  described her dealings with Syrian artists as comfortable because they are professionals and  have a long history in the drama industry and focus in their work on topics that monitor the issues of people and society.

 

Belamri expressed her pride in  her experience  with Syrian artists in the movie “Oh, my mother,” directed by Muhammad Nasrallah, including  Fadia Khattab, Ali Karim and  Nizar Abu Hajar , because they are symbols of Syrian and Arab art.

 

The film narrates the suffering of the mother until her children grow up and her sacrifice and giving everything  to make their happiness, but they did not meet her kindness with what she deserved and treated her with coldness and cruelty.

 

The Algerian screenwriter Belamri won two prizes in Egypt and Palestine for her two films on  the issues of the disabled  and the struggle of the Palestinian people in the face of the Israeli occupation.

 

She  believes that Arab art in general differed in its values  and has become in a state of decline, indicating remarkable efforts should be exerted to make the art play a vital role in building the nation’s development and present effective values to serve life and societies.
