Syrian TV shows continue to defy hardships in 2016

[Bleipriester]

Freedom and rights, particularly women´s rights prevail under the rule of Syrian President Assad. All the spineless maggots and their terrorist masters are not even dirt compared to him.

"Damascus, SANA – Despite all the difficulties, hardships and the challenges that increase with each year since the beginning of the crisis in Syria, a total of 40 Syrian TV series have been completed in 2016, with these shows, along with the joint productions with other Arab countries, covering a range of genres including contemporary social drama, Damascene period shows, and comedies.



In terms of quantity, Syrian TV production managed to make up for the decrease in number of shows that marked production since the crisis began, as some production companies either suspended operations or moved to work abroad, and this recovery is caused by the remaining companies’ ability to adapt and by the partnerships between multiple private companies or between private companies and the public sector’s General Establishment for Radio and TV Production.

Work conditions are no longer as convenient and diverse as they were, so now shows are adapting to the limited shooting locations, while some shows opted to work in somewhat dangerous locations that are close to areas where terrorist groups are active.

In terms of genre, contemporary social drama is the most prolific this year, with a total of 22 shows, 5 of them produced by the public sector: Where Do We Begin the Tale, I’m Not a Slave Woman, Without a Scabbard, Unforgettable Days, and Dissolution.

The other shows in this genre include Red, Regret, the 4th season of A Soul’s Cry, Domino, Half a Day, Innocent Wrongdoers, Crime of Passion, Wanderers in the Mist, the 3rd season of Kin of Love, School of Love, the Stranger, Neighbors of the Moon, Pain of Silence, and Women with a Past.



A total of 8 Damascene period drama have been produced this year due to the popularity of this type of historical shows among Arab viewers, and at the lead comes the 8th season of Bab al-Hara (The Quarter’s Door), accompanied by the 3rd season of Girls’ Collar, Al-Mawaldi House, Fragrance of Damascus, Khatoun, and Sadr al-Baz.

Despite the crisis in Syria, comedy remains present in TV shows, with 10 shows this year including the 12th season of Spotlight, al-Tawarid (which a comedy set in the Bedouin community), Salimo and his Harem, What’s the Story, Familial Tension, Tenzeker w Ma Ten’ad (the title is an idiom used when a bad memory is mentioned which roughly means “let’s hope that’s the last time that happens”), We’ve Got This, and Fares and Five Spinsters.



Sadly, marketing Syrian shows is a task that becomes ever more difficult, partly due to the hostile policies of some channels that are backed by states that are involved in the war on Syria and who want to exclude Syrian shows, in addition to the fact that a number of actors, writers, directors, and technical staff members have opted to work in other Arab countries, reducing the talent working in local shows, while another element is the presence of sub-par shows with lean content and weak production values that compete with better shows by being cheaper for channels than their more competent competitors.

It remains to be seen how the audience will react to this years’ lineup, and the feedback will hopefully provide insight into the strengths and weaknesses of shows which would help in developing shows and improving them in order to preserve this deep-rooted industry and art form."

Very true. Those people should be honored for keeping our common values alive. Instead, they suffer from sanctions imposed by the western regimes. While these regimes claim to be "friends of Syria", their sanctions cover almost every part of the daily life. ATMs, Food, meds, everything.

"Noch im November hat Odday Alatiki den Weg vom sicheren Flüchtlingslager ins kriegszerrüttete Damaskus gewagt, um seine Papiere zu vervollständigen.

Odday darf selbst keine Crowdfunding-Kampagne auf den gängigen Plattformen starten. Er ist syrischer Staatsbürger und damit von den Sanktionen gegen sein Land betroffen.

They deserve our respect.

The same Western regimes did this to Iraq, the sanctions on Iraq are estimated to have killed at least 500,000 children. I won't even mention the EU keeping the sanctions on Russia, I'm very annoyed at this.

With regard to that young man Odday Alatiki, it's good he's now safe in Clausthal-Zellerfeld, well that article is from 2014, so I suppose he's now in Clausthal-Zellerfeld studying. However I don't think these people should be allowed to permanently stay, no citizenship etc that sort of thing.

They need to be nearer to their own lands, there's no reason why they can't go and study in Dubai for instance.

Well as America has caused the problem in Syria, I think that ALL Syrians should be airlifted to America, I don't think any of them belong here in Europa.

They also can study in Syria. However, there is nothing wrong with some immigrants in general. It is the masses of foreigners and the posture of many that make the difference.
Germany does nothing to support Syria to overcome terrorism, quite the contrary.

I'm not against legal immigration, but I think that allowing any immigrant to stay in a nation should be about if they have a skill that that nation can use and a certain level of education, no nation needs unskilled and barely educated immigrants.

If they as an immigrant just want the nation to go to University in, I don't think that should be allowed either, not when native students themselves are often struggling to keep their own heads above water.

So there should be strict criteria on immigrants, Merkel's abandoned pretty much all criteria and just opened the floodgates to all and any, so you have everyone coming from not only Syria but Bangladesh and Pakistan and Afghanistan and a ton of African nations and the majority are going to be useless.

No nation should have any more than 5% of it's population who are immigrants, Merkel already reached nearly 2 million in 2015 with her insane open door policy.

Wie sich zwei Journalisten für den Traum eines syrischen Flüchtlings einsetzen

They deserve our respect.

The same Western regimes did this to Iraq, the sanctions on Iraq are estimated to have killed at least 500,000 children. I won't even mention the EU keeping the sanctions on Russia, I'm very annoyed at this.

With regard to that young man Odday Alatiki, it's good he's now safe in Clausthal-Zellerfeld, well that article is from 2014, so I suppose he's now in Clausthal-Zellerfeld studying. However I don't think these people should be allowed to permanently stay, no citizenship etc that sort of thing.

They need to be nearer to their own lands, there's no reason why they can't go and study in Dubai for instance.

Well as America has caused the problem in Syria, I think that ALL Syrians should be airlifted to America, I don't think any of them belong here in Europa.

They also can study in Syria. However, there is nothing wrong with some immigrants in general. It is the masses of foreigners and the posture of many that make the difference.
Germany does nothing to support Syria to overcome terrorism, quite the contrary.

I'm not against legal immigration, but I think that allowing any immigrant to stay in a nation should be about if they have a skill that that nation can use and a certain level of education, no nation needs unskilled and barely educated immigrants.

If they as an immigrant just want the nation to go to University in, I don't think that should be allowed either, not when native students themselves are often struggling to keep their own heads above water.

So there should be strict criteria on immigrants, Merkel's abandoned pretty much all criteria and just opened the floodgates to all and any, so you have everyone coming from not only Syria but Bangladesh and Pakistan and Afghanistan and a ton of African nations and the majority are going to be useless.

No nation should have any more than 5% of it's population who are immigrants, Merkel already reached nearly 2 million in 2015 with her insane open door policy.

Studying in another country is nothing special. It is common in western countries as well. I personally think, Syrians should stay and fight terror or work in the Syrian economy but this is easily said.

It's amazing that they're still operating under the circumstances.

Very true. Those people should be honored for keeping our common values alive. Instead, they suffer from actions imposed by the western regimes. While these regimes claim to be "friends of Syria", their sanctions cover almost every part of the daily life. ATMs, Food, meds, everything.

"Noch im November hat Odday Alatiki den Weg vom sicheren Flüchtlingslager ins kriegszerrüttete Damaskus gewagt, um seine Papiere zu vervollständigen. Mitte Januar hat er nach Angaben von Gürtler nun einen Termin bei der deutschen Botschaft in Beirut, um ein Studentenvisum zu beantragen. Auch eine Absprache mit der renommierten TU Clausthal-Zellerfeld gebe es bereits, und die Zeugnisse liegen in beglaubigten Übersetzungen vor.

That the majority are young men of military age suggests they're cowards, yes they should stay in Syria and help the fight, help the Assad forces, along with the Russian's, to regain control of their nation.
