Ogled filma in diskusija
Večkrat nagrajeni dokumentarni film Belkî Sibê razkriva 18-mesečno potovanje skozi vojno in revolucijo v Rožavi, zahodnem delu Kurdistana, v severovzhodni Siriji. Film se razteza med napredovanjem in zmago Sirskih demokratičnih sil proti ISIS, vključno z zgodbo Mednarodnega bataljona svobode, kjer je bil režiser v prvi vrsti razporejen. Prikazuje vojaško življenje in bitke na fronti, pa tudi civilno življenje v zaledju in socialno preobrazbo, ki jo poskuša izvesti Avtonomna demokratična uprava. Na obeh področjih je vidna vloga osvoboditve in opolnomočenja žensk. Film sledi časovni osi od julija 2016 (bitka za Manbij) do konca leta 2017 (osvoboditev Raqqe in propad islamskega kalifata), vendar vključuje tudi posnetke iz konca leta 2021, ko se je režiser vrnil v Rožavo. V filmu Belkî Sibê ni glavnega junaka, ki bi vodil pripoved. Namesto tega je več glasov iz različnih krajev, ki se združijo v sintezo kolektivne pripovedi, tako z vidika internacionalistov kot tudi lokalnih prebivalcev.

Film screening and discussion
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 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.
