Tarik El Hob (2001)


Karim, qui se dit hetero et etudiant en sociologie, cherche, parmi les jeunes d'origine maghrebine, des gays prets a temoigner devant sa petite camera. Il rencontre Farid, steward decomplexe, qui est pret a repondre a ses questions et plus si affinites. Au fur et a mesure de l'enquete, le comportement de Karim se revele paradoxal: il vit avec sa copine, tout en s'initiant aupres de son nouvel ami.

Karim, a sociology student who claims to be heterosexual, seeks amongst young Magrebinis, those who can speak openly about their homosexuality before his video camera. He meets Farid, a young and confident flight steward who is willing to answer all and volunteers to assist him in his project. During their research, Karim's behaviour becomes paradoxical: he lives with his girlfriend whilst practically falling for Farid.

TARIK EL HOB (THE ROAD TO LOVE, internationally) is a sensitive and tender docudrama about homosexuality in the Islam world. The film is exotically raw and realistically written that watching the two leads fall for each other seems to affect the viewers. Simply a must see!

La Vie de Jésus (1997)


Chronique de la vie de Freddy (David Douche), jeune épileptique, qui vit avec sa mère Yvette à Bailleul où elle tient le café Au Petit Casino, siège d'un club de pinsonneux, amateurs de pinsons qui concourent tous les dimanches et marquent à la craie sur un long morceau de bois le nombre de trilles de leur oiseau.

The chronicle of the life of Freddy (David Douche), a young epileptic, who lives with his mother Yvette in Bailleul who keeps the "Au Petit Casino Café," the seat of the Finches Club where the finches lovers flock every Sunday and mark with chalk on a long piece of wood the number of bird trills.

LA VIE DE JÉSUS (titled THE LIFE OF JESUS in the US), is one breathtaking film about the life of young people living in the northern part of France near the Belgian border. Its realistic and raw approach to personal differences, marginalisation, racism and love makes it a milestone winner for its targeted viewers.
