The short movie won the innovative TANDEM Media Awards category between a journalist and an artist; “one of the most difficult ones” according to the EU Neighbours South organisers, who said they nonetheless received the most submissions from this group.
“Our work is centered around culture in all its forms: material and immaterial,” explains Inès, who says they picked Algiers’ casbah as “the perfect architectural embodiment of culture”. “We filmed both the building itself but also the people representing its integration of old and new, through the eyes of Khadija, a young designer who weaves tradition into modern and stylish clothing.” The duo then moved to Tizi Ouzou, a mountain city in the north central Kabylie region, where they pictured the “immaterial” aspect of Algerian culture, between tradition and heritage preservation.
