L'Institut Français de Casablanca is one of the main
cultural hubs of our beloved economic capital. Even if its just
a tiny proportion of the population, the demand is steadily growing
for quality exhibitions, theatre and generally any kind of cultural
activity other than watching the unavoidable Barça matches.
Yesterday 14th of November we had the opportunity to go to watch "My
Land", the latest production of acclaimed Franco-moroccan
director Nabil Ayouch, widely known for having won many international
prizes with "Les Chevaux de Dieu". For a modest 15 dhs you
got to see the movie and a very interesting round table with Nabil
Ayouch himself, quick, witty and deep, and looking like an eternal
teenager.
"My Land" is a documentary about the most
(in) famous tragedy in modern history: the Israeli-palestinian
conflict. With testimonies from both sides, Arabs and Jewish, Nabil
explores the present and the past of those two communities that once
lived in peace and that international powers forced into hatred with
the famous UN resolution 181 in 1947. The film is intense and the
audience was very much moved by the Palestinian people. Being a mix
of Jewish mother and Moroccan father, Nabil is well prepared to
present the views with an objective approach that allows the viewer
to draw its own conclusions.
