[Reader-list] Queens of Syria: British Council films collection: July 06 2017

[rohitrellan at aol.in]

Hi, 



The British Council is screening a selection of award-winning films from its archives as part of a season of film screenings through 2017 across its centres:


About 'Queens of Syria':


Queens of Syria tells the story of 50 women from Syria, all forced into exile in Jordan, who came together in Autumn 2013 to create and perform their own version of the Trojan Women, the timeless Ancient Greek tragedy all about the plight of women in war. Not one of them had ever acted before.


What followed was an extraordinary moment of cross-cultural contact across millennia, in which women born in 20th century Syria found a blazingly vivid mirror of their own experiences in the stories of a queen, princesses and ordinary women like them, uprooted, enslaved, and bereaved by the Trojan War…!!


It was a process charged with emotion and fraught with challenges, as long buried issues came to the surface, and at times the project itself hung in the balance.
