Modern world films festival begins in Damascus

Culture

About 90 films will be screened during the festival of the modern world cinema products, which will start today at 6:00pm (local time) at the Damascus opera house.

The first film to be screened today is ‘Birdman’ by Alejandro GonzalerInarritu, which won three academic awards last year for best picture, best director and best original screenplay.

The 119-minute long film provides a thought-provoking and inventive exploration of artistry, family, and the difference between power, popularity and prestige.

The 30-day festival is being held by the National Film Organization in cooperation with Dar al-Assad for Culture and Arts.
