A prolific filmmaker with over fifty films to her credit, Marcelle Thirache (1946-2025) chose Super 8 as her preferred format, undertaking a series of experimentations with light and color that included painting on film as well as her initial practice of photography. She became interested in experimental cinema in 1982, attending the screenings organized by the newly-formed Light Cone. She joined as a member and remained loyal to the organization starting with her first films, which were made in 1987, and throughout her filmmaking career.

"This film is not about the past, but about the future, which can still be shaped. It is a work that can only begin by placing a mirror in front of the colonial archives. I am sabotaging the colonial gaze."
– Kamal Aljafari
