Baya Medhaffar

Festina lente

Francia, Tunisia 2021 , 21'

with the presence of the director

An essay in pictures on the gaze and a poetical reflection on time that “rushes slowly” (as per film’s title), Baya Medhaffar’s debut film relies on matching shots from diverse footage of unknown origins, on overlapping, and juxtaposition; the images may well come from another time, that of childhood, of our childhood. Prayers having no effect on their perdition, the traveler and his shadow make their way at the crossroads of images and voices encountered on the road that form and deform as they advance. So many apparitions, each of them being an opportunity to stop for a while, take a look, or listen before resuming their walk.
