Four Seasons of Jamal Soliman

is a poetic portrait of actor, activist, and exile Jamal Soliman, told through the cities that shaped his life and career. The film follows his deeply personal journey from Damascus to Cairo to Paris, unfolding through four metaphorical “seasons” that reflect different stages of his artistic and human evolution.

Blending memories, monologues, and poetic fragments, the film explores themes of identity, language, censorship, and legacy, weaving Soliman’s private experiences with Syria’s public history. Shot across three countries and structured as a lyrical visual essay, it offers a thoughtful meditation on fame, freedom, and the cost of taking a stand.

At its heart, the film tells the story of a man who has never stopped believing in the power of art to confront truth.
