In aid of Hands Up Foundation

Leighton House Museum, the spectacular ‘East Meets West’ palace of art of Victorian Frederic Leighton, is proud to be working with the Hands Up Foundation to present a series of films made by a young generation of Syrian .

The programme, curated by award-winning director Soudade Kaadan, is an enchanted journey showcasing the talents of Syrian filmmakers despite the challenges they face in a country shattered by a violent conflict. 

The series kicks off in May with the first Syrian film to be Oscar-nominated, “Last Men in Aleppo”, portraying real Syrian heroes trying to civilians survive during a merciless war. With monthly screenings up to November and including a special ‘shorts’ night, this of movies shows the evolution of Syrian lives before and throughout the war, their suffering and their rise from the ashes to build a new life elsewhere.

Soudade Kaadan says: ‘I hope to share in this collection of films a feeling of love for our country, and an opportunity to voice Syrian talents through a deep in cinematic language on our reality.
