Alea Jacarandas

France, Algeria
80’
In the streets of Algiers, jacaranda trees bloom like shards of memory. Following his father, Ameziane, a cultural journalist and writer haunted by these purple-flowering trees from Latin America, filmmaker Hassen Ferhani embarks on an intimate journey in which his father’s stories sketch a loving dictionary of the city. Writing, filming and choosing beauty become acts of resistance.
