               The intent of the document film YOUNG SYRIAN LENSES is to tell the reality of Syria with a human and anthropologic approach, without falling into the rhetoric of religious belonging or the spectacle of war.

               In 2014, Mr Ruben Lagottola, with the help of Mr.Enea Discepoli entered Syria through the Turkish border.  And then travelled to Alleppo, one of the most effected areas, under the harsh regime of Bashar Al Assad.  The intent of the film was originally to cover a photography exhibition by the media activitists of Alleppo, covering the lives of the residents in the warn torn areas.  However, one week prior to Mr.Ruber’s arrival, the school which was to hold the exhibition, was bombed and it never saw the light of the day.

               So MSr.Ruben went ahead to shoot a different film, un-scripted and budget free.  That covered the daily lives of the residents who live in constant fear and pain.  After capturing the footage / back in Italy he and Mr Fillippo Biagauti co-directed the edit of the film to bring as “YOUNG SYRIAN LENSES”
