FILM

“The point of departure of Amanar Tamasheq is the exciting adventure of the filmmaker in trying to transform the video camera into the most powerful weapon while travelling with the Tuareg rebels in the desert of Mali. A people always under threat, their terrible history is constructed here in their own words in a text which is brought upon the images in the form of subtitles. The images are as far as possible from the imagery and language with which violence is generally narrated, and acquire thus a political and radical strength rarely seen before.” (Cahiers du Cinema ES)
