Diario africano
by Yervant Gianikian e Angela Ricci Lucchi
Italy, France, 1994, muto, 8’

At the end of the 1920s, a traveler in Algeria recorded a filmed diary. His camera unhesitatingly captures intrusive images of an androgynous youth and unveiled women. Set to the hypnotic music of Keith Ullrich, these images take on the form of a nightmare.
