About

The Documentation Centre for Displacement, Expulsion, Reconciliation shows the documentary "The Other Side of the Sun" by Tawfik Sabouni, a title from the Berlinale's Panorama Dokumente section.

Years ago the filmmaker was released from Saidnaya, the Syrian prison also known as "the other side of the sun". After the fall of Assad's regime in December 2024 he returns to the site of his detention. The film (Belgium / France / Saudi Arabia 2026, 92 minutes) is in Arabic with English subtitles.

After the screening, curator Sirkka Moeller talks with the director. The event is held in English, doors open at 6 pm, admission is free and registration is required. The series is a collaboration with the Berlinale's European Film Market.
