Culture

Within the Syrian Icon Project, the Culture House Palace Theater in Homs hosts the premiere of the movie “Qasam,” (Oath), produced by the Syrian Artists Syndicate.

The film is a national epic that commemorates the heroism and victories of the Syrian Arab Army and its great sacrifices to achieve victory.

The writer and director of the film, Sami Noufal, explained that the film “Qasam” is his first experience in the field of cinema, through which he tried to show something different from the previously produced films that documented the heroism, valor, and victories of the Syrian Arab Army. “Qasam” is based on a war fantasy that does not document a specific event, but rather depicts the case of a group of soldiers who are under siege trying to  awaken their dear memories and  remember their legacy and roots to get out of the difficult situation they are in.

 

According to Noufal, the film also presents several topics that dealt with the role of the mother in raising her children and building society, the importance of thinking and scientific research, the role of collective memory, and the necessity of protecting it from the

Distortion attempts it was subjected to during the war years. The film reflects the viewpoint of the Syrian officers and soldiers in defending the homeland, and that the victory is the result of consecutive and continuous ideas. It is the legacy that we live by, he added.

The hero of the film ,Basil Haidar, expressed his happiness to be in the city of Homs with its educated audience who loves cinema, stressing that the presentation of “Oath” in the governorates constitutes an important cultural event.

Haidar indicated that, through his performance of the complex character of Officer “Ahed”, he tried to present something new, as he linked the real situation in which this officer lived with fantasy and the collective memory.

The movie “Qasam” will continue to be shown until Thursday, the 23rd of this month.
