- A place with nebulous frontiers and laws. Characters captured in an existence whose outlines flee the camera's gaze. Such is the world of the old fairground located in the Arab League Park in Casablanca that Randa Maroufi leads us into. Actions frozen in gestures of exchange, expectation and aggression are played out following a score conducted by the artist who, in the manner of Eric Baudelaire, uses composition to explore reality. But this reality is also virtual, for these scenes come in part from a repertoire of violent self-representations found on the Internet. The artist reprises their vocabulary. Violence, she tells us, is a language, and its interpretation is a matter of context. A strange vitality emanates from the gentle immobility of the silent travelling shot that drifts through the scenes acted out by the local inhabitants, whether simply passing through or precarious residents. Like the roughness of the vegetal and urban architecture of the abandoned park, these existences are not festive, yet they celebrate life's endurance, a vital energy that is hidden yet tenacious. Maroufi's Le Park escapes along each hidden path, leading us on in a gentle dream whose outcome is never revealed to us. Indifferent to our presence, it murmurs its silent rhythm. These scenes, these lives - the artist began by approaching them with restraint, then trust, and always with respect. Without ever seeking to appropriate the indomitable park or the existences that inhabit it, Maroufi leads us into an intimate world on the threshold of an intensity at once real and fantasised. The artist thus draws, incisively yet delicately as if with a metal tip, a forgotten tale at the heart of the city but on the margins of the world.
- The Roma and Sinti gypsy cultures have no written history. Little is known of the roughly half a million gypsies who were killed in Europe between 1940-1945, nor of the thousands of Italian Roma and Sinti nomads who were interned in the 80 concentration camps established by the Fascist regime in Italy. A time of suffering that some nomads do not want humanity to forget. The story of their holocaust needs to be told to the "gaje" or non-gypsies. Tzigari, an authentic spokesperson of the Romas has come forward with his personal and unique testimony. Built around his story, the documentary film reveals an undisclosed and exclusive scenario of WW2, shedding new light on some of the darkest pages that have been removed from the annals of human history. Based on the only biographical record written by a Roma in the Italian language and one of the very few in Europe.
