In Your Eyes, I See My Country

Q&A
by Clive Bell

As part of the Q&A series of the 10th Norient Film Festival 2021, the director Kamal Hachkar met with musician and Shakuhachi player Clive Bell to talk about their film In Your Eyes, I See My Country (Morocco & France 2019).

The documentary portrays the journey of two judeo-moroccan musicians, Neta Elkayam and Amit Haï Cohen, to Morocco. From one musical encounter to another, this journey will reshape their perception of who they are and who they want to become and help them create new connections with their ancestors’ homeland.
