Damascus-Sana
The short fictional film “A Very Ordinary Day” produced by the General Film Organization won the golden prize of the Alexandria Short Film Festival in its seventh session, which announced its results today.
The film, written and directed by Anas Zawahiri and produced as part of the Youth Cinema Support Project for 2019, is an attempt to approach the details of the Syrian social environment and learn about its different layers by monitoring stories that take place within an area not exceeding the square meter of a taxi driver and wandering around the city streets.
The film, which won the first prize at the Youth and Short Film Festival last year, starred “Hammam Reda, Tamadur Ghanem, Alyana Saad Muhammad, Wahid Qazak, Salim Sabbagh, Fouad Al-Ali, Muhammad Khattab and Zain Khouzam.”
The silver prize at the festival went to the Egyptian film "Tok Tok", and the treatment of the Algerian-French film "Serrano" received special mention.
