To take a picture or to make a picture?
You do not capture an instant but you make the instant eternal.
Hamid Benamra, a film director born in Algeria and who moved to France, makes films that know no borders.
They deal with Algerian subjects embodied by select personalities treated with a high-level artistic style and great aspirations that make them clearly different from the rest of Arab films inside and outside the Arab world.
To expose yourself in front of a camera is an act of confidence.
You let your ego be stripped down. It is a deeply audacious act.
Hamid Benamra started writing for Aljazeera in 2014.
