On screening: Copies Récentes de paysages anciens / Petite Histoire des plateaux abbandonnès
HD Video, 6 & 8.20 minutes, Arab with English Subtitles - 2012

Abandoned movie sets are used again, the actors are two local kids, born not far from the film studios, now almost abandoned, near Ouarzazate.. The two kids re-enact a few lines from movies that have been shot there, an American horror movie, Lawrence of Arabia... and all around natura and the incontaminated landscapes of the Draa Valley stand outside of time.
