Before the Dying of the Light

1h 10m Documentary, Experimental 2020

The seventies were the last period in Morocco where struggles and dreams for change were a reality. Also known as “Years Of Lead” due to the violent repression that came along, this was the most important artistic and cultural period which shaped the first generation of Moroccan post-colonial artists. Through a socio-political approach, “Before the Dying of the Light” exhumes archives of great creativity. This atmosphere of revolt which had long been censored or marginalized, had succeeded in setting free.
