رسالة من مخرج ومنتج العمل فراس شمسان
A message from the director and producer of the work, Firas Shamsan
البحث عن سبأ هو ليس فقط فكرة فلم وانما رحلة عبر الزمان والمكان ما
رحلة تستهدف رفع الوعي الحالي والتذكير بالماضي الجميل
ان هذه الرحلة لا تتوقف مع توقف الكاميرا عن التصوير وانما تستمر حتى بعد عرض الفلم لانها رحلة بين الماضي والحاضر من اجل المستقبل
عرفت اليمن قديما عبر ملكتها بلقيس وعبر امجاد مملكة سبأ
وتعرف سويسرا بعراقتها الديموقراطية وبنظامها السياسي الفريد على مستوى العالم
لذى كان القرار ان نبحث عن سبأ في سويسرا وعن هيلفيتيا في اليمن
هي رحلة نرجوا ان تكونوا جزاء منها من خلال الدعم والمشاركة
Die Suche nach Saba ist nicht nur eine Filmidee, sondern eine Reise durch Zeit und Raum.
Eine Reise, die darauf abzielt, das heutige Bewusstsein zu schärfen und an die schöne Vergangenheit zu erinnern.
Diese Reise endet nicht, wenn die Kamera aufhört zu filmen, sondern sie setzt sich auch nach der Vorführung des Films fort, da es eine Reise zwischen Vergangenheit und Gegenwart für die Zukunft ist.
Jemen war in der Antike bekannt durch seine Königin Bilqis und die glorreichen Zeiten des Königreichs Saba.
Die Schweiz ist bekannt für ihre altehrwürdige demokratische Tradition und ihr weltweit einzigartiges politisches System.
Daher wurde beschlossen, Saba in der Schweiz und Helvetia im Jemen zu suchen.
Es ist eine Reise, bei der wir hoffen, dass Sie ein Teil davon sein werden – durch Ihre Unterstützung und Teilnahme.
À la recherche de Saba n’est pas seulement une idée de film, mais un voyage à travers le temps et l’espace.
Un voyage qui vise à éveiller la conscience actuelle et à rappeler un passé magnifique.
Ce voyage ne s’arrête pas lorsque la caméra cesse de tourner, mais continue même après la projection du film, car c’est un voyage entre le passé et le présent pour l’avenir.
Le Yémen était autrefois connu grâce à sa reine Bilqis et à la gloire du royaume de Saba.
La Suisse est connue pour sa tradition démocratique ancestrale et son système politique unique au monde.
Ainsi, il a été décidé de chercher Saba en Suisse et Helvetia au Yémen.
C’est un voyage dont nous espérons que vous ferez partie grâce à votre soutien et votre participation.
The Search for Saba is not just a film idea but a journey through time and space.
A journey aimed at raising current awareness and reminding us of the beautiful past.
This journey does not end when the camera stops filming but continues even after the film is screened, as it is a journey between the past and the present for the future.
Yemen was historically known through its Queen Bilqis and the glories of the Kingdom of Saba.
Switzerland is renowned for its deep-rooted democratic tradition and its unique political system worldwide.
Thus, the decision was made to search for Saba in Switzerland and Helvetia in Yemen.
It is a journey we hope you will be part of through your support and participation.
