Co-directed by Syrian filmmaker Ossama Mohammed and Wiam Simav Bedirxan, a young Kurdish woman who was in Homs during the uprising, the film is crafted from a series of shots with small cameras and cellphones that depict that daily strife of the war in Syria, footage Mohammed began to collect while he was living in exile in Paris, France.
Mohammed was contacted by Bedirxan towards the end of 2011 while he was in Paris. She asked him what he would have shot had he been immersed in the ongoing war at the time, sparking a raw, hard-hitting collaboration between the two filmmakers.
Silvered Water, which screened at the International Film Festival earlier this month, is Mohammed's third narrative feature after Stars in Broad Day Life and The Box of Life.
