Rome, (ST) – The Syrian short film “Al-Zariba”(The Barn), written and directed by Al-Ayham Ali, won the award for the best social film from the Gasp Foundation at the Bracciano International Film Festival in Italy.

The Gasp Foundation, one of the festival’s organizing institutions, granted this award to the film “Al-Zariba” because it presented a complete story without any words. It is a silent film based on emotions.
