Saif Subaie is cautiously optimistic

Director Saif Al-Subaie revealed during his interview on the podcast "Forbes Talk" with media personality Badour Al-Mousa that he is currently cautiously optimistic, expressing his fear of imposing new censorship on artistic works.

Saif Subaie and the reign of Bashar al-Assad Subaie also spoke about the period of Bashar al-Assad’s rule, saying that the people thought that there was a president coming from Britain who would carry Syria to a new stage, but it turned out that he was an “idiot.”

Regarding his father’s opinion since the beginning of the revolution, or even if he had been alive when the regime fell, Subaie said that his father decided from the beginning to remain silent because of his inability to express himself.

The idea of a huge art project Subaie announced that he was preparing an idea for a huge artistic project that would talk about Syria’s history in previous years, without discussing its details in order to guarantee his rights to the work.

The idea for his new artistic project came after he read a novel in 2013 that talks about the previous era of Syria. He said that the work would be a surprise and would have international production specifications like Netflix or Amazon Prime productions, and would not be a Ramadan work. This work would be considered a true document of Syria’s history.

The fate of the series "The Mamluks" As for the series “Al Mamalik”, Saif Subaie said that the idea of producing the series is still ongoing and has not stopped, but it has been postponed since last year.

The work is a huge historical work that tells about the period of the fall of the Ayyubid state and the beginning of the rise of the Mamluk state, passing through the story of Shajarat al-Durr. Subaie said that there is a possibility of starting work on filming the series this year if an agreement is reached with the production company.

Details of the series "About Love and Lies" It is noteworthy that Subaie will be present in Ramadan through the series “About Love and Lies,” which he finished filming in Lebanon.

It talks about the lives of 5 friends, somewhat similar to the movie "Friends but Not Dear", and the first promo for the work will be announced soon.

The series includes a group of Syrian and Lebanese stars, including: Kinda Hanna, Youssef Al-Khal, Yamen Al-Hajli, Rasha Bilal, and Ayman Abdel Salam. Its events revolve in 15 episodes around stories and romantic relationships. It was written by Rana Al-Faqih and produced by "Sada Production".
