SUMMARY:Filmscreening+Q&A "Syria: The Impossible Revolution"
DESCRIPTION:Syria – The Impossible Revolution(2018\, 90 Min.)Regie: Ronan
  L Tynan und Anne Daly Esperanza ProductionVeranstaltung (Screening und an
 schl. Podiumsdiskussion im Moviemento\, 28.9.2018\, ab 19.00)Der Dokumenta
 rfilm\, erstmals in Deutschland zu sehen\, zeigt die Entwicklung der syris
 chen Revolution\, die als gewaltloser Aufstand breiter Teile der Bevölker
 ung gegen eine der ruchlosesten Diktaturen begann und in eine Katastrophe 
 mündete. Das Assad-Regime und seine Verbündeten wussten den Forderungen 
 nach Brot\, Würde und Freiheit mit nichts anderem als brutaler Gewalt zu 
 begegnen. Der Film verfolgt die Entwicklung seit Beginn der Herrschaft der
  Assads bis hin zum Fall von Aleppo 2016\, wobei Archivmaterial und Interv
 iews mit unterschiedlichen Menschen\, die direkt am Aufstand beteiligt war
 en\, ebenso zum Einsatz kommen wie die Stimmen von Experten. Beleuchtet wi
 rd auch die Rolle diverser überregionaler und regionaler Mächte und die 
 Frage der Solidarität mit der syrischen Revolution und einer Bevölkerung
 \, die massiven Bombardierungen\, Hungerbelagerungen\, Vertreibung und dem
  Terror verschiedener Milizen ausgesetzt war und ist. Kritisch wird der Fr
 age nachgegangen\, warum eine „antiimperialistische Linke“ sich nicht 
 zur Solidarität mit einem ebenso legitimen wie inspirierenden Aufstand en
 tschließen konnte.   Im Anschluss diskutieren die Regisseur*innen und ein
  oder mehrere an der syrischen Revolution Beteiligte mit dem Publikum übe
 r diese und andere Fragen\, die der Film aufwirft. (Film und Veranstaltung

 y Anne Daly and Ronan TynanDuration: 90 minsFilm screening followed by a p
 anel discussion in the Moviemento Cinema. 09/28/2018 at 7 pmThe documentar
 y\, first seen in Germany\, shows the development of the Syrian revolution
 \, which began as a nonviolent uprising of broad sections of the populatio
 n against one of the most ruthless dictatorships and resulted in a catastr
 ophe. The Assad regime and its allies responded to the demands for bread\,
  dignity and freedom with nothing but brutal force.The film follows the ev
 olution from the beginning of Assad's reign until the fall of Aleppo in 20
 16\, using archive footage and interviews with various people directly inv
 olved in the uprising\, as well as the voices of experts.The role of vario
 us supraregional and regional powers and the question of solidarity with t
 he Syrian revolution and a population that was and is exposed to massive b
 ombing\, starvation sieges\, displacement and the terror of various militi
 as is also highlighted. The question of why an "anti-imperialist left" cou
 ld not decide on solidarity with an uprising that is as legitimate as it i
 s inspiring is critically examined.Afterwards\, the director and one or mo
 re of the Syrian revolution participants will discuss with the audience th
 ese and other issues raised by the film.(Film and Event: in English with\,

  – The Impossible RevolutionA film by Anne Daly and Ronan TynanDuration:
  90 minsThree years in the making this feature length documentary offers u
 nique insights into the roots of the Syrian Revolution and how what began 
 as a peaceful uprising turned into a very brutal conflict as the Assad reg
 ime cracked down.‘Syria – The Impossible Revolution\,’ a film by Ann
 e daly and Ronan Tynan\, seeks to unravel the roots and ‘complexities’
  of the bloodiest conflict in theMiddle East as well as the politics of th
 e Western response. It also examines why some elements on the Left are on 
 the same page as the extreme Right defending the Assad regime against “U
 S imperialism” apparently oblivious to the role of Iran and especially R
 ussia and her indiscriminate bombing of civilians as well as targeting hos
 pitals which many charge are warcrimes? The film traces the roots of the S
 yrian revolution through the regime of Assad’s father up to the fall of 
 Aleppo. Using extensive archive and interviews with a wide range of people
  directly involved as well as experts on the region\, the documentary seek
 s to offer some understanding about a conflict that has plumbed new depths
  in terms of the toll it has extracted on civilians. Some suggest more tha
 n five hundred thousand are already dead\, half the population have fled t
 heir homes and five millions are now refugees in Europe and neighbouring c
 ountries with little prospect of returning any time soon.The film also exa
 mines the rise of the jihadis including Islamic State and Al Qaeda with ev
 idence partly nurtured by Assad as he continues to present himself as “f
 ighting the war on terror”. Meanwhile\, the violence has drawn in almost
  every major power\, as well as all of the leading regional powers. But on
 e thing is clear\, civilians and ordinary Syrians seem to count for little
  or nothing in their calculations.Paul Conroy\, the legendary war photogra
 pher\, described the documentary as ‘an incredible film on the history o
 f the Syrian conflict’. Paul was wounded in Syria in 2012 when his colle
 ague war correspondent Marie Colvin was killed in Baba-Amr\, Homs by an As
 sad regime artillery barrage targeted at their press centre. French photog
 rapher Remi Ohlick was also killed in the same attack.‘Syria – The Imp
 ossible Revolution’ is an Esperanza Production and was directed by Ronan
  L Tynan and co-produced with Anne Daly.___________________Esperanza Produ
