Where are you, Tariq Teguia? is part of the series of short films commissioned by the Centre Pompidou, which asks invited filmmakers to create a free-form film to answer this question about the future, its desires, its projects! Where are you now, Tariq Teguia? is less a self-portrait - from Thessaloniki to Algiers, Lisbon or Beirut - than an attempt to escape it.

Algerian filmmaker Tariq Teguia wrote and directed this impressionistic look at a man whose life takes an unexpected turn far away from home. Malek (Abdelkader Affak) is a surveyor from Algeria who is semi-retired, but at the urging of a friend he takes an assignment in Oran. The region in question was the site of frequent battles during Oran's civil war, and an earlier survey that would make it possible to bring electrical utilities to the area was cut short by the fighting. While the zone is still unstable, Malek sets out to complete charting the area, and finds the locals regard him with suspicion and hostility. However, not everyone is disrespectful, and he discovers a young woman (Ines Rose Djakou) who is attracted to him, which leads him to consider abandoning his old life to run away with her. Inland was an official selection at the 2008 Venice Film Festival.

For more than ten years a "slow war" has been going on in Algeria: a war without battlefields but with more than 100,000 people killed. It is this wilderness that Zina and Kamel = a young couple bewildered and merry, gloomy and undisturbed - want to traverse one last time, before leaving for somewhere else.
Director
Through the maze of alleys that is the city of Algiers and its surroundings, a blocked society, closed in on itself even where part of the word becomes the only space of individual freedom.
Director
Algeria seen as a constant construction site. The eye moves through the chaos of the Algerian architecture, where most of the buildings are left incomplete. This is an essay on photography and video, but also on graphics and music.
