Birds of War
The film follows the 13-year personal archive and real-life love story of Janay Boulos, a London-based Lebanese BBC journalist, and Abd Alkader Habak, a Syrian activist and cameraman.
They connected remotely in 2016 during the siege of Aleppo because international journalists were banned from the area.
The film had its world premiere at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Special Jury Award for Journalistic Impact. It also screened and won awards at the Thessaloniki International Documentary Festival and Visions du Réel.
Presented by The Screening Room at 1313.
