  • 2019: Copper Notes of a Dream [Notha -ye- mesi yek roya] - It was selected for the 13th Cinema Verite[11] and for the Camden International Film Festival. The film chronicles a period in the life of Malook, a ten-year-old Palestinian refugee who lives in a ravaged area of Damascus. To finance the organization of a concert with professional musicians (he dreams of being a singer), he and his friends take the copper wiring from ruined buildings to sell. They write apologies on the walls in case the previous occupants ever return.[12] Steve Dollar, who saw the documentary at Camden, commented in Filmmaker that "the story is as quietly heartbreaking as it is hopeful in the childrens' [sic] zest not only to abide but to transform the damaged world around them".[13] The film was selected for the national competition at Cinema Verite,[14] and was shown at the Olympia film festival in Greece.[15]
