My short film ?syrrialism? is about a Syrian activist who took part of the protest and then arrested, to begin his trip with hallucinations and dreams caused by the subconscious mind of a man saw a large amount of crimes in a short time, but he did not give up hope and still sticking to his dream of free future. In this film I mixed some consequences of our revolution like pain, creating, starving, traveling, and souls meeting..

I own a furniture store in Damascus, began photography in 2003, mostly black & white, all developed and printed in my dark room. in 2011 I participated in the peaceful protests against the Syrian regime , then i utilized my art for the sake of Syrian revolution, via photography page on Facebook called Syrrialism (Syria+ Surrealism) always anonymous for my safety. In the end of 2012, I?ve been kidnapped and tortured by the FSA (free Syrian army) accused of being a leader of a pro Assad militia ! After being released and healed, I got other threat so i traveled with my family to Lebanon, and start making short films. My films are produced by small NGO with tiny budget, but it helps me expressing my vision as an artist and an activist, in order to continue my non-violent contribution and not living the destiny of Syria in the hands of the warlords
