Interview– Hala Alabdallah (Copy)
I met and spoke with Hala Alabdalla, Syrian documentary filmmaker currently based in Paris, regarding her most recent film, Omar Amiralay: Sorrow, Time, Silence (2021). The film serves as a personal message to one of Hala’s oldest friends, the late Omar Amiralay, a pioneering documentary filmmaker and long-time critic of the Syrian regime who passed away a month before the unfolding of the revolutionary moment of 2011.
