The Honour of the Tribe
Genres
Overview
Like every year in Zitouna, a bear handler passes by. With his creature, he comes to challenge the small community. And like every year, it is Slimane El Mabrouk who defends the honor of the tribe. But this time, he dies, leaving two orphans, Omar and Ourida. Robbed of their inheritance, the children will grow up alone. The years pass, the French army settles in, and with it, the war. Mysteriously, one day, after the murder of a French legionnaire, Omar disappears into the bush, while his sister dies in childbirth. Omar will return to the village, much later, once independence has been acquired, as a representative of power and with this enigmatic formula: "You must know that the Revolution has not forgotten you". Personal revenge? Sincere desire to bring progress and modernity? ... The inhabitants of Zitouna, upset in their ancestral way of life, will not be long in having an answer to their questions.

Let Them Come
At the turn of 1990 in Algeria, in an end-of-era atmosphere marked by the victory of the Islamists in the municipal elections, then in the interrupted legislative elections of 1991, a prelude to a decade of particularly barbaric violence, the Algerians will experience the radical Islamism, its desire to rule public and private life and a daily life of attacks, assassinations, then collective massacres, which left 200,000 dead. Literature and cinema have strived to question and bear witness to the enormous trauma of this period called the “black decade”.

Scream
An experimental essay film about terrorism, media, violence and globalisation. Three infotainment news broadcasts - a rollercoaster, a hijacking, and an influencer - are soundtracked by pulsating experimental electronics that push the psychic residue of a post war-on-terror world out of the unconscious and onto the screen. Capitalism, imperialism, desire; all three are implicated in a nihilism that has seeped from the news into the social psyche.
