SWE·NOR 2026, 81‘, DCP, OmU, R: Maryam Embrahimi
In a hidden house in Rojava, in northern Syria, live women and men of the Kurdish guerrilla who were severely wounded in the fight against IS. The battle is over, the world has turned away. What remains is a pain that still works even where nothing is left. For five years, the Emmy-winning director Maryam Ebrahimi accompanies a community that refuses to be forgotten. Her film is about life afterwards, about a friendship that sustains, and about the dignity that no one can conquer. Website: kurdischesfilmfestival.com, Instagram: kurdischesfilmfestivalkoeln
