Imagine an oasis: it is there in the desert, thousands of years old but forgotten. A grain of sand in the universe. This oasis is Figuig. It was cut in two when France drew the border between Morocco and Algeria. The border also drew a line between two populations and ended millennia of oral transmission.
Director, author and cinematographer, Nadja ANANE made a name for herself on the internet with the Golden Moustache and Studio Bagel collectives. She then directed television series such as Like Moi (France 4), as well as documentaries such as the Rêvolution Digitale series (Muséum TV). She is preparing her feature film project within the Fémis Scenario Workshop.
