Before the Dying of the Light
光の消える前に

Director: Ali Essafi

MOROCCO 2020 70min

with Japanese & English subtitles

The 1970s revolutionary movements in Morocco, led by laborers and students, gave rise to an exciting avant-garde art movement that developed alongside the protests. Although the movements were largely suppressed by authorities which led to their being erased from public memory, the passion of the artists from this period is given new life to the viewer through a collage of contemporary posters, music, and film footage.
