Damascus, SANA – The Syrian short film “Smile.. You Are Dying” participates in the official competition of Great Lakes International Film Festival 2015 launched on Saturday in Pennsylvania, USA.
The fifteen-minute movie tells the story of a photographer who lives in a constant state of concern due to the war in his country, which makes him hate to listen to news.
The hero also lives a love story that he becomes, along with war, a victim. This climatic scene is presented in archived photos hanged on walls of a gallery of an incomplete photo exhibition.
The film won the “the best film” award in the Bangalore International Short Film Festival in India last September, as it was also lauded in Kolkata Shorts International Film Festival-15 in India.
