The Night

The film is about the city of Quneitra. The city stood in the Golan. The director was born there. The account begins in 1936. Revolts took place in Palestine that year. His father had fought for Palestine in that period. The film opens at the father’s grave. The son tries to rebuild his story. What his mother tells him becomes the source. The account also shows the daily life of the city. The fears and the hopes of its people are given. The city passed into Israeli hands in 1967. It was destroyed afterwards. The film takes up that destruction and a feeling of shame. What is told is the film’s own view. Sabah Jazairi and Fares Al-Helou appear in the one hundred sixteen minute film, a Syrian production Mohammad Malas finished in 1992.
