Hizam (Belt)

86 min (2016) - with Assia Guemra & Mohamad Malas

Male identity, before brandishing the national colors should raise a banner with no colors since it wears them all, the female banner.

Over 16 years, the camera caught a femininity searching for itself.
This is not a dancing abecedarium nor a brochure of playmates, nor a feminist petition, women here confide serenely and freely.

Contemporary Middle-Eastern Dancer Assia Guemra is a former France Taekwondo champion.
Her belt is neither a nightclub accessory nor a cinematographic lure but gives its tempo to the belly.

The filmmaker gets close to the womb and understands that women mirror him.
