Belkî Sibê: A Journey Through the Syrian War and The Rojava Revolution

Belki Sibe is a volunteer soldier's film. It unfolds an 18 month journey through war and revolution, in Rojava Kurdistan NE Syria, during the advance and victory of the Syrian Democratic Forces against ISIS, including the story of the International Freedom Battalion, where the director was primarily deployed. 

It depicts the military life and battles on the front-lines, as well as the civil life at the rear and the social transformation attempted by the Autonomous Administration. In both fields, the role of women's liberation and empowerment is prominent. 

The film is divided in chapters and follows a timeline from July 2016 (battle of Manbij) until the end of 2017 (liberation of Raqqa and demise of the Islamic Caliphate), but also includes flash forward updates from late 2021, at the end of each chapter. 

In Belkî Sibê there is no main character that drives the narrative. Instead, there is a plurality of voices from a multitude of places, that merge to form a synthesis of collective narrative, from the points of view of internationalists as well as locals. 

🎬 Montage @Yannis Kolozis 🎹 OST @Alexandros Miaris 

The director, Alexis Daloumis, is a filmmaker and journalist of British and Greek citizenship, born in London but raised and based in Athens. Primarily orientated towards social movements, environmental issues, and conflict zones.
