2021, Andorar, 73', Dir. Olivier Bourgeois, Arabic (Turkish, English subtitles)
As the war in Syria rages around them, a small group of archaeologists, museum curators and attendants struggle to preserve the monumental collections of antiquities at the Aleppo National Museum. Without electricity, without water, without means, they empty the showcases, pack antiques with pieces of clothing, dismantle false ceilings to protect them in makeshift boxes, build concrete walls to hide ancient statues from looters… This feature docudrama based on a breathtaking true story will challenge your vision of archaeologists.
