BEFORE THE DYING OF THE LIGHT- 2020. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “The seventies were the last Moroccan period in which struggles and dreams for change were a reality. Also known as “Years of Lead” due to the violent repression that came along, this was the most important artistic and cultural period which shaped the first generation of Moroccan post-colonial artists. Through a socio-political approach “Before the Dying of the Light” exhumes archives of great creativity, this atmosphere of revolt had succeeded in setting free and which had long been censored or marginalized.”

STILL LIFE IN LODZ- 2020. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “The lure of family mysteries lies at the heart of STILL LIFE IN LODZ, an emotionally riveting documentary that journeys to the historically tumultuous city of Lodz, Poland. Here, a surprise reunion with a painting that hung in the same apartment for 75 world-altering years becomes a probing investigation into the power of memory, art, time and resilience.
