Trivia
Land of Light was shot at the Turkish-Syrian border in the Hatay province of Turkey. All actors are non-professionals, themselves refugees in the border town of Reyhanli. The city is a hub of the FSA, the so-called Free Syrian Army, that from here directs their efforts inside Syria. To realize the project, theater workshops were organized in different makeshift schools and the Anatolia Cafe over the course of two months. From the so-called Speak Syria workshops, the story originated. The Syrian community in the town joined in the efforts of making the film.
