While they were on their way to Tunis at the request of M'hamed Yazid, Minister of Information of the Provisional Government (GPRA), they were victims of the so-called "Bleuïte" executions, the famous manipulation operation mounted by the French secret services during the Algerian War, which consisted of putting into circulation lists of alleged collaborators of the French army. Youcef Sahraoui is the only survivor of the group whose victims, Ali Djenaoui and his companions, are declared "disappeared in the maquis". Arrested and imprisoned, released thanks to independence, he then joined the RTA. Youcef Sahraoui quickly distinguished himself as one of the best cinematographers in the country.

Last Image
Cinematography
Seen through the filtered lens of boyhood memories, award-winning director Mohamed Lakhdar-Hamina crafted this half-fictional, half-autobiographical account of a brief period in the history of an Algerian village. It is 1940, and the quiet town is ruled by French colonialists appointed by the Vichy government. Algerians are being called up for service in the Vichy military, and Jews in the village are in danger of deportation. A beautiful young schoolteacher named Claire Boyer (Veronique Jannot) arrives in town and turns every male head within miles, including 14-year-old Mouloud (Merwan Lakhdar-Hamina, the director's son). Simon Attal (Michel Boujenah), a fellow teacher and a Jew, is also attracted to Claire, and so is Mouloud's older brother. Suddenly two murders occur in the village, Simon is in danger of being deported, and the tone shifts from the dreams of boyhood to the realities of manhood.
Sandstorm
Cinematography
Seen right through the sandstorms that rack the lives of a tribe living on a desert oasis, is a subtle and not-so-subtle mistreatment of the female members of the tribe - tribal chiefs have the right to be the first to deflower virgins, and single or widowed mothers must walk a narrow line of behavior restrictions that do not apply to their male counterparts. Both genders, however, fight the brunt of the harsh desert winds together.
