Unlocking Doors of Cinema

“Unlocking Doors of Cinema” is a feature documentary exploring the fifty years of artistic contribution of the daring Syrian auteur Mohammad Malas.
Exiled from his hometown Quneitra, Malas provokes audiences to contemplate loss, memory, and home. From the 1967 War and Palestinian Camps in Beirut to the songs of Aleppo and the political tragedies of Syria, Malas exemplifies what it means to be an auteur and public intellectual.

Unlocking Doors of Cinema takes you on a unique cinematic journey where creative cinematography becomes a visual conversation with the author’s five decades of work.
