Michael Simms: The Cove
I loved those mornings
of timeless simplicity.
I learned patience
is not something you work for
but something you wait for
Carmel Mawle: The Calisia

Mosab Abu Toha: my grandfather and home

Souvenir Souvenir tracks the efforts of the French filmmaker Bastien Dubois to learn more about his grandfather’s time as a French soldier in the Algerian War of Independence (1954-62). Sixty years later, that conflict is little-discussed by many of those who fought it, leaving members of younger generations, like Dubois, to speculate about their family’s role in the notoriously brutal war.
