“Kobani” tells story of ISIS defeat in Syria’s Kobani
KOBANI, Syria (North Press) – On Tuesday evening, the movie “Kobani”, that tells the story of ISIS defeat in Kobani in northern Syria, was projected
The movie was projected in Baqi Khedo Center for Culture and Art in the city of Kobani, east of Aleppo.
Diyar Hesso, film producer and assistant director of “Kobani”, told North Press that the movie will be projected for a week.
“The movie tells the story of Kobani’s resistance and its victory over ISIS,” Hesso said.
“The movie will continue to be projected for more than a month in the cities and towns of northeastern Syria,” he added.
The director pointed out that the production and shooting of the movie took six months in Kobani and its countryside, while the editing and music operations lasted for nine months.
He indicated that “the movie will participate in several international and regional festivals, the first of which will be in the Venice Film Festival next month.”
In the fall of 2014, ISIS launched a war on the city of Kobani and took control of the entire countryside and a large area of the city. The Kurdish-led People’s Protection Units (YPG) and Women’s Protection Units (YPJ), supported by the US air forces managed to defeat ISIS militarily in January 2015.
