Syria is an important region, it has unique geographical and religious sites, its richness in social, historical and political aspects makes it a fertile environment to produce documentary films, due to the abundance of ideas, subjects and views which are apt to put forth for handling and discussion.

The shortage or rarity of documentary films production in Syria, have pushed us to contemplate establishing a production company which is concerned in subjects which are suitable as basement and background for making documentaries. Taking in consideration at the same time the artistic and technical side of it because of the fact that documentary is nowadays becoming one of the cinematic genres.   

As far as dramatic films, the productive activity in Syria is concentrating in producing serials. Since 1990 the television dramatic production has been active in Syria. Many private production companies have been established producing annually large numbers of works with huge budget. This activity accompanied the inauguration of huge number of satellite stations ( in Gulf Region and elsewhere) and in turn required big numbers of dramatic hours to fill up its air time.

On the contrary, the cinematic production remains restricted to the public sector, this led to big shortage in production. The average film production does not exceed 4 films per year, mostly for the elite without addressing the vast sector of the masses.      

This composite of factors have encouraged us to vision the necessity of taking the initiative concerning the cinematic production in Syria, benefiting from the huge dramatic boom and the higher institute of dramatic art, from its establishment and up today, which gives birth to distinguished talents, in all innovative spheres, such as directing, writing, acting, music, in addition to the required equipments and techniques.

The enlargement of the cinematic production in Syria becomes awaited step. It is now of vital importance to address the vast sector of the masses in cinematic language, because of the incapacity of television to view the full expression on the current ideas and subjects concerning the Arab citizen.   

So it has become urgent to come up with cinematic production with modern social and realistic subjects, as well as topics of daily problems and youth issues.

The Company studio Damas for documentary and dramatic production is one of the first private production companies which undertakes working seriously to bring into effect the production of distinguished documentary and dramatic films, this will clean the space before young experienced and talents to implement their projects, which have no place in the television momentum production.
