During this lecture-style workshop Touda Bouanani of Intilak Collective leads participants through the group’s research and study of groundbreaking historical films from post-independence Maghreb countries.

Participants will view excerpts from iconic films such as Assia Djebar’s La Zerda ou les chants de l'oubli (1982) and discuss the postcolonial representation of marginalised female voices and filmmakers from the Maghreb. Choice excerpts from Intilak’s publications En attendant Omar Gatlato (2023) and Ahmed Bounani’s La Septième Porte—Une histoire du cinéma au Maroc de 1907 à 1986 (2021) will help participants further expand their knowledge of post-independence Maghrebi cinema.
