CinemaEast Film Detail:

 
  The Dream
(al-Manam) by Mohammad Malas (Syria, 1981, 45 min, Color, DigiBETA PAL and DV-Cam NTSC)

Synopsis
Filmed in Sabra and Shatila, Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, shortly before the massacre in 1982, this documentary's principle reference is dreams, and not lived reality. It plays on this double register, where women, children, elderly and combatants speak the reality of their everyday, transposed eerily, in dreams, nightmares and premonitions. Ultimately they converge on what the Palestinians have lost: their homeland and a life with dignity.
