The flavor of apricot ice cream, the smell of gunpowder, the sound of bombings—the Iraqi French filmmaker Feurat Alani appeals to the senses in his portrayal of Iraq through memories of family visits. As an adult he spends a number of years there working as a journalist, and is confronted by terror and war.In 20 animated shorts about minor events, he relates his personal history, as well as that of his family and a blighted country. Form and content reinforce one another, and the animations produce added layers. When the nine-year-old Alan visits his Iraqi family for the first time, Saddam Hussein literally hangs like a threatening cloud above an otherwise happy life. In spite of everything, there’s room for love, beauty, humor and above all humanity.France, 2018.
