Description
The DVD box set brings together 21 short films directed by Ahmed Zir between 1979 and 2011 in Algeria, accompanied by a bonus interview with the director and a booklet written by Frédérique Devaux-Yahi.
"The themes of my films stem from my way of understanding philosophy and society, placed within a universal context. Yet they also draw on the everyday realities of my country. I use symbolic objects — such as a bicycle or playing cards — to build a story, with particular attention to movement." — Ahmed Zir
