00:00It is with a great pleasure to meet you on Median TV for this new scale culture in the heart of Africa.
00:17In a few moments, we will be able to see you in one of the most popular films of the Moroccan cinema.
00:26We will be able to understand why this film is a real artistic, but also social within the Moroccan society.
00:41We will also talk about literature, but before all, place to our guest today.
00:46Today, we have an immense pleasure to meet Omar Rebek, an interdisciplinary artist.
01:00Today, he is with us for the 9th edition of the Urban Art Festival.
01:09Hello, Omar.
01:10Hello, Amina.
01:12How are you?
01:14Very well.
01:15I'm very happy to be with you.
01:17Thank you very well and thank you for being with us.
01:21So, this is the 9th edition of almost 10 years ago that this very beautiful adventure has begun.
01:28So, for our viewers, I would like to go back to what caused you to create this event, this festival.
01:38How is born this baby who will soon have 10 years?
01:42So, it was in 2017, the beginning of 2017, we launched the Live Room project.
01:52So, it's the association Live Room who created this festival, which is exercised at Tanger.
01:58So, it's an association, it's a project of human development via the creation of a physical space or digital
02:04for the promotion and exploration of the expression artist, disons, of the expression artistique libre.
02:11And then, after, in 2016, we had done plenty of experiments, but it was also in fact,
02:17in fact, an event pluridisciplinary, where the visual artist had no place,
02:24so it was really a place.
02:25So, it was rather theater, music, dance.
02:28And then, in 2017, because we did a lot of events, we reached a category of age which is less baisse,
02:39so at the age of 18, 17, for adults.
02:43And we noticed that there was a very big interest in the youth for the urban art.
02:50And also, I'm a co-founder of the project.
02:56So, we have this background a little urban.
03:00So, I had done a lot of breakdates, for example, or how it was developed, how it was developed, how it was created,
03:09how it was developed, how it was developed, how it was developed, the hip-hop at Tanger.
03:12So, we decided that we were going to make a sort of festival,
03:18which is, in fact, what we would like to be a carrefour of the urban art in all the region of the North.
03:24And, just so, Omar, it's true that we have, in Morocco,
03:30several cultural events, several festivals,
03:33dedicated to literature, to all kinds of music, cinema,
03:38bref, j'en passe, l'art contemporain,
03:40but it's true that the art urbain is represented,
03:45but maybe not yet enough,
03:48and it's true that sometimes we have a mal to consider these disciplines as being an art.
03:56Are you agree with me?
03:58Is it today we still have a mal to consider it as an art to part entirely?
04:03Yes, I believe that yes.
04:06So, already, the Moroccan citizens,
04:08even with, last, you already know,
04:12the Moroccan government, the royal government,
04:15even S-Majesté Leroy,
04:17have insisted a lot on the hip-hop,
04:19on the new arts.
04:21For example, the break-dance and the hip-hop sports,
04:25from 2020, they became Olympic.
04:29So, there is a great vocation towards that,
04:31but there is always this resistance
04:34that we feel in the Moroccan citizens,
04:39the Moroccan people who see the graffiti,
04:42for example, as a sort of vulgar or intrus,
04:48there are others who consider it as an art,
04:51but there is always this resistance to change,
04:54so that will come, little by little,
04:57thanks to our initiatives and the initiatives of our companions
05:01in all the Moroccan.
05:02So, little by little, we will change these ideas
05:05and why not give the art urbain the place they deserve.
05:09And I would also like to ask, Ammar,
05:12can you talk about these artists
05:14who have made this 9th edition,
05:18these talents,
05:21also Moroccans,
05:24what is their particularity?
05:27You're in the middle of it,
05:28so you know what they do,
05:30the force of the Moroccan talents,
05:32what can you tell us?
05:34There is a lot of talent,
05:36I can assure you,
05:38especially when we mix it with other international artists,
05:43so we really see that the Moroccan artists
05:45have nothing to do with others,
05:47so they are well there.
05:48So, we always wanted it,
05:50it's a festival created by the youth,
05:52for the youth,
05:53so it's already the first target,
05:54but then there are the families,
05:56there are the children,
05:57for example, today,
05:58for this week,
05:59we already started the festival here,
06:02so it was the vernissage
06:06of the collective exhibition
06:07with other activities,
06:08and today,
06:10for example,
06:11it's going to be dedicated
06:12to children,
06:14so there will be a lot of activities
06:16just for the children,
06:17so the children,
06:19as I say,
06:20it's less than 15 years,
06:21so we can go to the age very low,
06:23so for example,
06:24the circus,
06:25the dance,
06:26the graffiti,
06:27even initiate the children's graffiti,
06:29especially for the girls,
06:31because the theme of this year,
06:35we are going to do
06:38face equal,
06:39place equal,
06:40place equal,
06:41face equal,
06:42that's to say,
06:43we will even give the women
06:45the right to
06:46to be appropriate
06:47to the public space
06:48in all safety,
06:49in all freedom,
06:50and again,
06:52to encourage the young women
06:55to practice this art,
06:57because, for example,
06:58if we take the graffiti,
06:59this year,
07:00we are going to do
07:01a national competition
07:03for the emerging artists
07:05of graffiti.
07:06In all the Maroc,
07:08there are two women
07:11who perform graffiti,
07:13already quite a lot.
07:14we have,
07:16apart from the festival,
07:17we have the center of the lab,
07:19where we form the young
07:21in the art,
07:22and every four years,
07:24we have this graffiti program
07:26with always five women
07:29in the middle,
07:31but at the end,
07:33they remain in the movement,
07:35so it is always
07:36encouraging and pushing,
07:37and this year,
07:40we will also have,
07:42for example,
07:43for dance,
07:44there is the Detour Festival,
07:46it's a great festival
07:47international
07:48based in Bruxelles,
07:49which is our partner,
07:50so we are going to do
07:51the grand finale
07:52for the Walking Progress
07:54of Contemporain
07:55and the Battle
07:56of Breakdance
07:57and All Side,
07:58so the winners
07:59will assist
08:00to the grand finale,
08:01so there is always
08:02this interest
08:03for the Moroccan artists
08:04to be present
08:05in the international scene.
08:07And even for the rap,
08:08we are going to finish
08:09with the rap,
08:10so we are going to have
08:12the big names mixed
08:14with the young locals
08:15who are going to go.
08:18So, it's going to be very exciting,
08:20I'm really excited
08:21and excited
08:22to experience these moments-là.
08:26It's a pleasure
08:27to receive you, Omar,

09:04And for now,
09:05Culture du jour.
09:06Place à Ouichman,
09:07film charnière,
09:08primordial dans le paysage cinématographique
09:10marocain,
09:11arabe,
09:12mais également africain.
09:13Un film de Hamid Benani,
09:15Tanit de bronze au festival de Carthage en 1970.
09:18La production de ce film est particulièrement intéressant,
09:21dans la mesure où il marque une date et constitue une expérience sociale et artistique exceptionnelle.
09:28Dans une réalité cinématographique caractérisée par une production très difficile et sous l'appellation de Sigma 3,
09:35Hamid Benani, Mohamed Tazi et le chef opérateur Mohamed Sqad constituèrent une sorte de collectif cinématographique
09:42dont le petit budget ne couvrait que les frais matériels et techniques de la réalisation.
09:47C'est dans ce cadre que Ouichman est né et a été réalisé.
09:51Ouichman est un film qui a fait beaucoup parler de lui à l'époque.
09:54Et d'ailleurs, il a reçu un accueil critique très positif dans divers festivals,
09:58notamment à Pessaro, Berlin, Carthage, où plusieurs récompenses furent discernées.
10:03Mais il fut jugé politiquement suspect et économiquement étranglé par les distributeurs qui le refusèrent systématiquement.
10:10Ouichman, c'est l'histoire d'un enfant adopté qui trouve en Melki un père bon,
10:16mais sévère et qui souhaite élever son fils selon la seule éducation valable à ses yeux.
10:21Une éducation sévère, faite de cruels châtiments corporels.
10:25Et malgré la bienveillance d'une mère adoptive qui ne parvient pas à apaiser sa souffrance d'orphelin,
10:30Monsieur Hood s'engage sur la voie de la révolte et de la délinquance.
10:34On regarde tout de suite un extrait.

17:34And we continue with Katanga, the dance of Scorpion auréolet of the Etalon d'Or at Yanunga Fespako 2025.
18:03The new film of Danny Kouyaté offers ainsi au Burkina Faso son premier Etalon d'Or depuis 28 ans.
18:11Adaptation assez fidèle de la tragédie de Macbeth et William Shakespeare.
18:14Maison renouvelant la lecture par le choix délibéré de la traiter comme un conte dans un ancrage résolument et absolument africain.
18:23Et en modifiant radicalement l'issue.
18:26On regarde tout de suite ensemble un extrait de la bande-annonce et on se retrouve juste après.
18:33On regarde tout le monde et son capables qui ont été mis en mandatine.

19:20Someone who is being our child,
19:24is a small business,
19:26and is going to happen
19:28to the people who are homeless
19:30and who are living.
19:32That's why we're living in a small business.
19:34Like it's a small business
19:38and it's a small business
19:40and it's a small business
19:42I'm going .
19:46You don't have to blame your father.
19:51I'm going to kill you.
19:55Help me.
19:57Get the word I'm gonna do it.
19:59Let's go straight.
20:00We're gonna harm you from the community.
20:04To the people I don't want to do that.
20:06Come on, let's go.
20:08Daniel Koyate fait preuve d'une grande intelligence.
20:29Le film frappe par la pertinence et l'originalité de ses choix.
20:34Le noir et le blanc qui situent le film hors du temps, bien qu'il soit enraciné dans le présent des dictatures qui sont et ont été légers en Afrique et dans le monde.
20:44Daniel Koyate s'amuse même à s'attarder sur des objets du présent comme une entête parabolique, une 4L, des kalachnikovs, des motos ou des tricycles à plateau
20:54qui permettent aujourd'hui de tout transporter au Burkina tout en couvrant ses personnages d'habits et parures traditionnelles
21:01qui donne une sorte de paradoxe et qui adopte aussi la gestuelle du pièce de théâtre.
21:07Alors qu'il avait tourné en Dioula son adaptation d'un texte de l'auteur mauritanien Moussa Diaganassia, le rêve du piton.
21:14Il fait traduire ici Shakespeare en Mouret qui n'est pas sa langue d'origine mais la plus parlée au Burkina Faso.
21:21Le Mouret est si riche en images que Shakespeare se met à planer.
21:25Les concepteurs des sous-titres ont dû avoir des sueurs froids du Fulaway.
21:29Dans la symbolique des proverbes est difficile à rendre et à résumer.
21:34D'autant que Shakespeare aimait bien laisser percer la comédie derrière la tragédie
21:40et que de Dani Kouyaté s'en est saisi volontiers pour ce très beau film.
21:52Et avant de nous quitter dans l'Afrique en culture, place à la rentrée littéraire.
21:56Et en l'espace de deux livres, le Sénégalais David Diop s'est tissé au rang des grandes plumes des lettres africaines.
22:03Un talent ultra prometteur.
22:05Il nous régale cette fois-ci avec son nouveau livre, un récit emprunt d'un imaginaire et qui a fait la force de l'auteur.
22:12Ce romancier nous régale avec Où s'adosse le ciel, le titre du nouveau roman que l'écrivain vient faire paraître.
22:20Puisant son inspiration pour l'histoire et les traditions narratives africaines,
22:24David Diop retrace dans les pages de ce troisième roman le parcours d'un certain Bilal Sec.
22:31Quelque part entre l'Egypte antique et le Sénégal du 19e siècle où se déroule l'action du roman.
22:37Le protagoniste est bloqué à la Mecque où s'est vu une épidémie de choléra et ses compagnons de route l'abandonnent.
22:43Craignant qu'il n'ait été contaminé.
22:46Or Bilal qui est griot est porté par un imaginaire transmis par la grande chaîne de la parole qui le relie à ses ancêtres griots.
22:53Et sa survie dépend de sa capacité à faire sans cesse des signes que lui adresse le passé antique
23:00où s'enracine l'énigme même de ses origines.
23:03Un récit intelligent qui révèle selon les critiques à la fois l'épopée du conte philosophique voltarien et l'histoire du Sénégal.
23:11Et c'est ainsi que se clôture l'Afrique en culture.
23:15Merci d'avoir été avec nous et puis on se donne rendez-vous dès la semaine prochaine.
23:18Sans faute, d'ici là portez-vous bien.
