“A Portrait of Michel” is an investigative video portrait of the Uncle of the artist, Michel, and the circumstances surrounding his mysterious abduction by the Hafez al-Assad regime in Damascus in 1978. Through witnesses and bribery, we found out he was sent to three different prisons: Mezzeh, Sednaya, and Palmyra. Michel was never seen or heard from since.
Christine Gedeon, born in Aleppo/Syria and raised in the USA, is an artist, researcher, and filmmaker who lives in Berlin and New York. She is the recipient of numerous residencies, grants, and fellowships, and held various solo and group exhibitions in Berlin, Dubrovnik, New York, and Toronto, among others.
