Citizen journalism is coming of age around the world. Nowhere has this development been more dramatic than in Syria, where smartphones and other mobile devices have been used to capture the uprising and the devastating war.

Earlier this year, the Syria Mobile Festival began honoring the daring and memorable work of smartphone documentarians. Films include “A Physiotherapist Diary,” “My Uncle Abdullah,” “Garden and Graveyard,” and “Our World Cup.” One entry—”Silvered Water, Syria Self-Portrait”— premiered in the Special Screenings Section of the 2014 Cannes Film Festival.

In addition to theatrical exhibition in Syria and other countries, the Festival has made the movies available online here.
