Screening in-person at IAIA (New York) on April 21 /schedule Within this program, the wind is understood to be the central metaphor that represents destiny. Whether through unleashing its wrath, or by leading in flight, the wind is an element that guides the lives of countless people in ways unseen. Primarily shot across North America and Europe, the films present deeply humanizing narratives of Syrian experiences, shedding light of the contradictions and irreconcilable realities of longing for a past that haunts the present. REVOLUTION OF THE WIND is curated by Ahmad Alhaj and presented by ArteEast. This program is part of the legacy program Unpacking the ArteArchive, which preserves and presents 20 years of film and video programming by ArteEast. #syrianianfilm #revolutionofthewind #syrianfilmmakers @wind.cinema @ammado_wind @a.o_magazine @yazan.rabee_ @samernajari @waelkadlo @afraabatous @eyas_almokdad @emilieserri @lifeiscinemawith_razan @reem_alghazzi_

The three films traverse a period steeped in struggles over homeland and cities, the sounds of shelling and songs, and ink on the walls, In a quote by director Iyad, he says: “Nothing remains for us but the tale—the Book of Ecstasy, Nobility, and the Wind, When the first ecstasy burst forth like a flash in a long night, what followed was nothing but a test of nobility, then a passage into the wind.” These screenings are brought to you by Cinema Al-Rih and the Harmony Cultural Forum, in collaboration with the Arab Network Anhar for Human Rights Film Festivals and Fish Eye Company, with support from Ittijahat – Independent Culture. We look forward to your presence and participation. #ملتقى_هارموني_الثقافي #مطرانية_السريان_الارثوذكس #Harmony_Cultural_Forum #Syriac_Orthodox_Archdiocese

@matenacht June 6th 2026 🎬 19:00 – 19:30 | Film | Draw Me a Homeland | @nourifilm The logline: This documentary portrays Fatime, Sha’am, and Anas as they navigate their integration journey. It explores their search for identity in a foreign land and the feeling of being seen not as a person but as a file. Through three stages; denial, waiting, and rooting, they ask: can you truly take root elsewhere when the ground seems to reject you? The statement: How can roots that have been violently uprooted take hold again in foreign soil? How can you feel at home in a new country when the memory of your first encounter still aches? And how can you grow new roots in a land that took part in the uprooting of your own? Draw Me a Homeland takes you aboard a “lucky” refugee boat that arrives on the shores of European integration programs, a film about roots longing for soil to embrace them. Will they ever find it? Or is their longing, as refugees in this country, as fragile and distant as a dream? From the denial of what happened to you, to the moment when the numbness begins to fade, you’re left waiting, surrounded by a sea of questions, endless paperwork, and a constant sense of not yet. This film explores that no man’s land in between: not here, not there. The struggle to take root in new ground while the old soil still pulls you back and the new one keeps spitting you out. Integration often feels like something placed entirely on you: being reborn in a system where the pointing fingers hold the power to make you feel at home, yet choose not to. ------- Screenwriter & Director: @nourifilm Cinematography: @max_van_de_pol Editor: @jacco_ri Cast: @anas_al_halabi , Sha’am Hassan & @fatuum_7 Gaffer: @nielslokhorst1999 Production Design: @emmi_does_design Production Sound Mixer: Sanne Breij Sound design: Jeroen Arkenbout, @gjr_sound Re-recording mixer: @m.vanh VFX: @wouter2016 , @mariusruijs Composer: @lilpeptalk Producer: @roosmarijnschrijft , @mayra.srs @filmacademie and @wind.cinema Book your ticket now through the link in the bio.
