About Assyria A.D.
Beyond the fertile plains of the Tigris river lie the remains of one of the most remarkable and enigmatic civilisations in antiquity— Assyria. The story of this great civilisation may have faded in the sands of time, but thanks to the latest in archaeological and historical research, a team of international experts are piecing together evidence that is yielding profound answers to some of its greatest mysteries. Join us as we trace the fingerprint of a people that continue to call Assyria home and reveal how the ancient Assyrian pantheon that once dominated upper Mesopotamia was overthrown by a revolutionary idea: monotheism. Discover the story of how the belief in one God was introduced to the East and uncover insights into the triumphs and tragedies of the Assyrians post-empire.
About #ACSYA
ACSYA is an organisation that is governed by a Board of Directors and is headquartered in Sydney, Australia. Our team consists of a diverse group of Assyrians from various professions and industries who voluntarily contribute their time so that we can collectively achieve and deliver on the organisation's objective. We are passionate about our Assyrian cultural heritage and always strive to find innovative ways of ensuring its effective transmission to newer generations through various avenues. Whilst fragile, Assyrian culture is a crucial factor in maintaining cultural diversity in the face of social and demographic changes that reduce intergenerational contacts. Our team’s efforts are aimed at assisting the international Assyrian community in strengthening transmission systems by complementing these with formal or non-formal educational programmes. In 2018, the ACSYA Board began discussing what other ways we can effectively assist our present and future generations from gaining a better understanding of (i) who we are, (ii) where we come from, (iii) what makes our people unique, and (iv) why we should celebrate/ preserve our Assyrian culture. It is in this context that we, at ACSYA, believe a documentary film would be an informative visual resource, perfect platform for dialogue and will engage our community. Ultimately, the documentary film will showcase the latest in archaeological and historical research chronicling the Assyrian identity post-empire. ACSYA has lined up an impressive list of archaeologists, historians, linguists and scholars who will be taking part in this project.
Being a fully independent organisation however means that our team is restricted from pursuing our initiatives due to little or no access to funding. Funding is crucial in our effort to ensure that this documentary film is made possible. ACSYA is currently in need of funding that will cater for:
(i) Camera & Electrical equipment
(ii) Film direction
(iii) Editing
(iv) Music
(v) Transportation
(vi) Wardrobe
(vii) Hair & Makeup
(viii) Research & Development
(ix) Media
