Q & A: How Willimon Runs Fincher's 'House ...TIFF Concerned by Disappearance of Syrian Filmmaker Nyrabia: 'Filmmakers Must Be Allowed to Express Themselves'
In its press release, TIFF writes:
"Nyrabia belongs to the emerging generation of Syrian filmmakers passionate about world cinema and passionate about freedom. We are extremely concerned by his arrest -- filmmakers must be allowed to express themselves through their films, without fear of reprisal."
Nyrabia is the director of "Dox Box," an international documentary festival that is set in Damascus. He received the European Documentary Network award, along with his wife, director Diana el-Jeiroudi, for their contributions to the field of documentary film. Nyrabia and el-Jeiroudi's Proaction Film is the only independent doc company in Syria.
As the New Yorker noted following Nyrabia's arrest, another Syrian filmmaker, Bassel Chehade, was shot dead in the city of Homs in May.
