Loubia Hamra (Bloody Beans), 2013, Algeria/France, 88 min.
Director: Narimane Mari (documenta 14 artist)
Bloody Beans is a dreamlike portrait of a society afflicted by decades of violent conflict. Instead of relying on historical narrative, this widely acclaimed film offers a playful, surrealist re-enactment of the Algerian War of Independence through the actions of a group of local children.
