The Blond Boy from the Casbah (126 minutes)
Feature Film - France (2023)
Grace Gamm Theater
Language: Arabic, French
A film within a film, this loving portrait of the once-thriving Sephardic community in Algiers in the 1960s finds a famed French filmmaker returning home with his teenage son to present his beautifully reenacted memoir. Growing up in the final moments of Algeria's pre-independence period, the young Antoine discovers his profound fascination with cinema and starts to understand who he truly is. In the present, the adult Antione wanders through the city, immersed in the moments of happiness, laughter, and tears of his youth - spent between school, friends, and his Jewish family, written and directed by Alexandre Arcady. Take part in a Sephardic Reception (included in your ticket) in the MacMillan Family Lobby on Sunday, November 17 from 5:30 - 6:30 PM.
Sunday, November 17 | 3 pm | $15 per ticket (price includes Dairy Arts Center $3 ticketing fee)
