DocumentaMadrid
XV Festival Internacional de Cine Documental
Description
Demolished buildings, spooky streets, a food shortage. The fateful characteristics of war appear in the background of this film, a story on the front lines and in the first person about the evacuation of Aleppo following five years of war against the Al-Asad army. The online conversations between Ghith and Milad record these historic last days. (MMF)

Biography of the director
Milad Amin
He studied Fine Arts in Damascus to become a sculptor, but the revolution changed his career path. He loves making and building things, riding motorbikes and breaking laws. Music, cinema, books and absurd disputes inspire him.
Every form of authority, he despises, but he is enthralled by the mere idea of alternatives, the ambivalence of truth, freedom as an absolute and its relationship to creative processes.
He likes mastering new skills as a way of searching for himself. He is a freelancer and works in various art related fields. He has worked as a sculptor, photographer and web designer, as well as a tattoo artist and bartender.
Filmography: Helping Against All Odds, Hide the Phon.
