Half Moon

Frank Scheffer

Syrian musicians Kinan Azmeh and Dima Orsho are reshaping Syria's story in an ode to cherished memories and enduring love amid the pain of conflict.

The eruption of war in Syria prevented Syrian clarinetist Kinan Azmeh from returning, sparking an introspective journey into the power of art during times of conflict. His artistic exploration is intertwined with personal milestones, such as becoming a father. The art documentary featuring Kinan and his fellow artists forms an emotional and artistic tribute, offering a captivating portrayal of artists dedicated to telling their own stories. It reshapes the narrative of contemporary Syria, serving as an ode to cherished memories and enduring love, despite the profound losses and wounds inflicted by war and conflict.
