ABOUT : 

The Syrian war has impacted the lives of millions of people: Syrians, Lebanese, Jordanians, Turks, Kurds, Iraqis, Armenians and the Europeans who have opened their doors to refugees. The media around the crisis rests largely in the hands of those who view it from the outside. As a result the narratives are theirs. Taking place in Armenia, The Hakawati Project (THP) is a 2 month comprehensive filmmaking lab in various disciplines of cinema that work in concert to produce 6 short films made under the mentorship and in collaboration with A-list international talent. In collaboration with The Sundance Institute and Film Independent, Hakawati aims to foster the creative expression and sharpen the filmmaking tools of those impacted by the Syrian crisis, showcase their talent and offer alternative narratives to the ones mainstream media amplifies.
