Tweaked first sentence. Second sentence is sourced at the end of the following one. Here's the quote from the paper: "Malas is known mostly for his feature films, but onedocumentary he made has also won great acclaim, both in the Arab world, among those lucky enough to have seen a copy, and in Europe
310:. It says "... the government would not let Malas's Chiaroscuro to be screened. The only time it was shown in Syria was in 1993 at the American Cultural Center in Damascus." I tweaked the English title to "Chiaroscuro"; "Light and Shadows" was the literal translation of the Arabic name. 229:
Language is generally good, but this sentence—"Their unique answers provide a window into the subconscious of the Palestinian refugee."—could be stated more neutrally. "Great acclaim" could also be clarified, especially since there is conspicuously not a footnote at the end of the
298:
Unfortunately most of the sources are not accessible. Most facts can be confirmed by online sources, but I'm having difficulty finding a source that says "Light and Shadows" was banned; Zozo, maybe you could find an online source that confirms

where the film has been shown on television in England and France. The Dream is a documentary in which Malas interviews Palestinians of the refugee camps around Beirut about their dreams." I put quotation marks around "great acclaim."
332:
Yes, I know that, but because the dates vary so much at times, I chose to use the ones from "Dissident Syria" because it discusses the subject in much more detail and fits his professional chronology (festival participation, etc.)

Many thanks for the expedited review groupuscule. I'll move this to the special holding area for November 29 and hope it's not too late :)

The two "Reviewed" articles link to "Look Here (horse)", which were reviewed by a different user. Not sure what's going on with that.

I couldn't find an online source; but perhaps you can see the preview of "Dissident Syria: Making Oppositional Arts Official"

I hope this clarifies/responds to the issues you raised. Thank you very much for your thorough review Groupuscule.
194: 76: 426: 368: 273: 181: 104: 146:: It would be great if this could run on November 29, but I understand if it's way too last minute. 116: 40: 29:
The following discussion is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below.
441: 383: 158: 422: 364: 269: 363:
Hook is good but some elements of the article require comment/additions from the author.
288:: Article was substantially expanded on 26 November and is long enough (2678 characters). 340:"First auteur" claim seems a little nebulous, but is also made by this same dictionary. 284: 111: 464: 359: 264: 171:
Zozo2kx = Yazan and these reviews were completed as a subset of the Look Here hook.
