"Dirty" images. Super8. Landscapes and delicious abstractions. Images shot in 1997 by Mahine ROUHI, framed like a photographer would do and hand-processed in an improvised lab "Le Métronome" (Marseille). Blow-up in l'Abominable, in 16mm, in 2006.

A silent film by Alexandre Larose.

Set in the 1800s among the Berbers of North Africa, this 1997 Algerian feature concerns a noble widow who receives a customary purse of gold coins from the enemy tribe that murdered her husband; the gift puts her in conflict with her kinsmen, who want the money to buy back land taken by the enemy in cahoots with French colonials.

In this interesting little drama we are brought in contact with a man who is one of the highly respected citizens of a little mountain village, while in reality he is living a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde existence. We see him leave his home and go on his way up into the mountain to hunt. When he reaches a remote part in the forest he takes a black cape and mask from under a rock and puts them on, thus concealing his identity.

On March 24, 2015, a plane crashes in the Alps. In question, the suicide of its pilot, involving with him 149 people. Navigating the official images and stories, and those unofficial those of the inhabitants of the region, Stephen Loye observes, listens, films, archives and leads the investigation of this tragedy which took place right next to his home, but twhich he has not heard of before.

The starting point of the film is the so-called Moroccan Star, which was affixed to a rock face by the 4e Division Marocaine de Montagne in Feldkirch, Vorarlberg, at the end of the Second World War. The division was part of the French Allies, but has been marginalized by official historiography. The work revolves around the relationship and use of photography as an instrument of colonial power, but also as an element of self-representation, as evidence, as a trace.
