Syrian filmmaker Marya Zarif joins us in the studio, as her first feature-length animation hits screens here in France. “Dounia and the Princess of Aleppo” blends the magic of childhood with the tragic reality of life in a war-torn country; Marya tells us more about the process of making the movie and the contributions of a diaspora who are reinventing Syrian culture all over the world.

Plus, film critic Lisa Nesselson tells us why “Asterix & Obelix: The Middle Kingdom” is a major film event here in France, and we take a look at a Larry Cohen retrospective at the Cinémathèque Française.
