05 · Behind the camera
From Damascus to Småland — and out into the world.
Synas Media was founded by Jahja Alkhatib — director, cinematographer and editor with over 16 years in film. Born in Damascus, based in Sweden, he works natively in Arabic, Swedish and English.
That makes Synas Media an unusual partner for Middle East broadcasters: a production house with full Scandinavian access and an Arabic-speaking director who understands both audiences from the inside.
Let's talk about your next production.
