While investigating an event that profoundly changed the landscape of the Sahara, El Montassir was faced with the silence of previous generations who remain haunted by a history that they are unable to tell. With Galb’Echaouf, El Montassir focuses the viewer’s attention on landscapes, plants, and poetry, in search of answers or elements that could participate in the reconstruction of this amnesia and the transmission of the narratives
