The Silence of War: Damascus

THE SILENCE OF WAR: DAMASCUS

A documentary film directed by José Bautista for REVISTA 5W

How does Damascus sound? This is an intimate portrait of the Syrian capital, full of nuances and hidden spots. We enter into the streets and the culture of Damascus with the writer and war correspondent Mikel Ayestaran, who has been to Syria dozens of times before and during the war. In this short documentary, we look at the past, the present and the future of Syria through the conductor of the Syrian Orchestra, a DJ playing electronic music, a woman taxi driver and other civilians who suffered the war.
