'A dream-like documentary about the nightmare of exile, Taste of Cement takes us into the lives of Syrian construction workers in Beirut. Virtually imprisoned on the site of a skyscraper and with extremely limited access to news from home, these refugee labourers are creating a majestic structure while their own houses and cities are being obliterated. Without any traditional talking head interviews, exiled Syrian filmmaker Ziad Kalthoum has created a beautiful film about almost unimaginable hardship.' Adelaide Film Festival
