Abd Alkader Habak

Abd Alkader Habak (“Habak”) brings firsthand experience as a Syrian cinematographer who documented the Syrian conflict over six years, from 2011 to 2017. Working in dangerous conditions, he collaborated with BBC and CNN as a cameraman and field producer. His work during the siege of Aleppo—before fleeing Syria in 2017—resulted in an extraordinary archive documenting the Syrian revolution and war. Now based in London, Habak continues his documentary work. His recent short, SYRIA’S LAST CHAPTER, was commissioned by Al Jazeera Witness (December 2024). He is also in production on a feature documentary, UNTIL THE BUZZING STOPS.
