In Syria, everyday, YouTubers film, then die; others kill, then film.

“In Paris, driven by my inexhaustible love for Syria, I find that I can only film the sky and edit the footage posted on YouTube. From within the tension between my estrangement in France and the revolution, an encounter happened. A young Kurdish man from Homs began to chat with me, asking: ‘If your camera was here, in Homs, what would you be filming?’ Silvered Water is the story of that encounter.”
