Damascus, SANA – After being awarded by Alexandria Film Festival, the Syrian movie “Cherry Letters” won the Audience Award at the Mediterranean Film Festival of Annaba in Algeria.
Seen as an important patriotic work of art talking about the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan, the 72 m long film passionately tells a story of love between a boy and a girl and another symbolically-expressed one between a people and a land in a sublime atmosphere of cherry-colored nostalgia.
Produced by Syriatel telecommunication company in cooperation with Shaghaf for Art Production Company, the film is the first directing experience of the renowned actress Sulaf Fawakherji.
“I dedicate this award to the martyrs of the homeland who sacrificed their souls for Syria’s sake and for us to continue living, working and creating,” Fawakherji said on the red carpet at the festival’s concluding ceremony last Wednesday.
In early September, “Cherry Letters” movie won the Best Film prize in 31st Alexandria Film Festival for Mediterranean Countries within the award competitions of the late Nour El-Sherif for Arab film making.
