Youth and the City :: Yara Hafez
This tour addresses diverse age and social groups, with particular focus on adolescents and young people. It brings together a curated selection of documentary and fiction films by young Syrian filmmakers who captured their own living memories and visions of what unfolded around them during the revolution and the war, each through their own distinct cinematic language and tools. The programme combines works by the late director Bassel Shahade, the trilogy by Yasser al-Qassab and Rima al-Hamad, and films by Afo Karyani, Saeed al-Battal, and Ghayath Ayoub, alongside recent productions by emerging directors. Screenings will take place across multiple stops including Rural Damascus (Jaramana and Daraya), Qamishli, Raqqa, Rural Latakia (al-Qanjara), Marmaritta, and Nabk.

The Life of the Lifeless :: Khalil Sarhel
The tour opens in Latakia governorate, the film’s shooting location, before moving to Damascus and Aleppo, and concluding in Tartous,  bringing together two central and two peripheral governorates. The tour offers a comprehensive viewing experience that revisits the journey of making a self-documentary produced by a small crew, within a context that allows audiences to engage with the complex and layered realities facing people with disabilities in Syria. This is particularly significant given that estimates suggest more than 28% of Syrians live with a physical disability, a large proportion of which resulted from the war. Each screening is followed by an open discussion addressing both the directing experience and the mental health vulnerabilities of people with disabilities, closing with arts therapy as a broader question for collective reflection.

Cinema of Impact: Stories From and To the Community :: Bara’ al-Shubaib
The Cinema of Impact tour launches in Hama city and its surrounding countryside to create safe spaces for community dialogue, using contemporary Syrian cinema to bridge perspectives and strengthen social cohesion. The tour includes 10 screenings in Hama city and surrounding areas (Kafarbou, al-Dahiriyya, Qamhana, and Morek), targeting youth and adults (18+), suited to addressing sensitive topics such as displacement, recovery, and identity formation.
The tour adopts a “travelling cinema lounge” model, transforming public squares and rural community centres into warm, welcoming spaces (rugs, cushions, ambient lighting). Each screening is followed by a dialogue session concluding with a “visual ballot box” and the distribution of commemorative notebooks. An effort to break cultural isolation in rural areas and document local community stories.

First Frames :: Obey AlFayad
Phi Cinema Club organises the “First Frames” tour to provide screening and discussion opportunities for short films by recently graduated Syrian directors whose work has had limited exposure to audiences outside Damascus. The tour includes 6 screenings split equally between Latakia and Jableh (3 programmes per city), each featuring one feature-length film or two short films totalling approximately one hour, followed by an open discussion in the presence of the filmmakers.
The tour aims to support emerging directors and extend the reach of their films to new audiences, while energising the cinematic and cultural scene in both cities, advancing cultural decentralisation and making independent Syrian cinema accessible beyond traditional screening venues.

Little Cinema World Film Tour :: Alisar Alkassab
The “Little Cinema World” tour seeks to expand an initiative now entering its second year, through free screenings for children (ages 7–13) in Masyaf and its surrounding countryside in Hama governorate, bringing the collective viewing experience to areas where cultural activities are scarce. The tour presents carefully curated, age-appropriate films, each followed by an interactive discussion and a creative activity inspired by the film (drawing, model-making, or creative writing), to nurture children’s imagination and critical thinking.
The tour draws on the team’s experience and coordination with local groups, with screenings held in safe, accessible venues and documented and evaluated. It represents a step towards expanding the initiative’s scope and affirming cinema’s role as a cultural and educational tool that supports children’s right to free, safe arts activities within their own communities.

If the Year Were 364 Days :: Almourad Aldeeb
The tour takes its title from “If the Year Were 364 Days” — a reference to the day of arrest — and travels through Damascus, Homs, Hama, Tartous, and Latakia. It aims to bring the film back to the place from which its story emerged, through a tour that weaves together political, artistic, and human dimensions, centring on the detained and forcibly disappeared, on memory, loss, and survival.
The tour aspires to be a space for encounter, dialogue, participation, and testimony — one that makes room for different narratives and collective reflection on ways of representing the Syrian detainee’s experience, contributing to the transformation of suffering into meaning that can be built upon. It also seeks to build bridges between artists and audiences, and between Syrians inside the country and in exile, while fostering openness to different perspectives.

Mirror :: Ghaith Boutros 
The Yabrud City Friends Association will organise an interactive screening tour titled “Mirror”, presenting the films Aisha and The Wall by the “Abu Naddara” collective, in direct artistic coordination with the group. The two-day tour targets youth and adults, aiming to transform the screening space into a safe environment for viewing, reflection, and participation through tools of emotional contemplation, projective reading, and role deconstruction, under the guidance of playwright and theatre director Butros Ghaith.
Through individual reflection notebooks and circular dialogue sessions, the tour seeks to empower participants to revisit their human and social positions, transforming the act of watching from passive reception into a living space for free expression and the exchange of ideas.
