About the films:
Dounia and the Princess of Aleppo tells the story of six-year-old Dounia, who embarks on a dangerous yet magical journey with her grandparents, guided along the way by the Princess of Aleppo.
In Dounia: The Great White North, Dounia has arrived in her new homeland, Canada, where there is plenty of snow – a stark contrast to Aleppo in Syria!
This event is a collaboration between Urtegata.co at UG11 and Arab Film Days.
