Le Damas des autres
France
2017Jury
In 2015, what was far from Europe moved closer and what was familiar was suddenly pulled away. Since it was impossible to travel from France to Syria, Harbali realized that there was only one place where she could make the rules and be in contact with both the French and the Syrian sides of her family: a virtual land, the screen of her computer. As she found old pictures and memories of a time when a passport did not prevent you from moving, she came up with an undefinable place that can only be shared in a concrete way and where she is free to travel through the pieces of her origins.
