Blackberry Season will be screened at the Mihemed Şêxo Culture and Art Center in Qamishlo on Tuesday 6 September.

Blackberry Season (Dema Dirîreşkan), produced by Rojava Film Commune and directed by Haşim Aydemir, will be screened in Qamishlo at the Mihemed Şêxo Culture and Center on 6 September.

The film was previously withdrawn from the Sulaymaniyah film festival to protest the ban on the film "Ji bo Azadiyê", by Ersin Celik, also produced by the Rojava Film Commune.

Dema Dirîreşkan received the best cinematographic award at the Sulaymaniyah International Film Festival. Announcing that they had refused the award, the film crew said: “We withdrew our film from the festival after the movie Ji bo Azadiyê was arbitrarily taken off by the festival. For this reason, we do not accept this award.”

Director Haşim Aydemir directed the films '14 July' and 'Sur’da Devran' (Pigeon lover).
