SPECIAL SESSION
MARINER OF THE MOUNTAINS
MARINHEIRO DAS MONTANHAS
Brasil | 2021 | 92 min | Documentary
“Mariner of the Mountains” is a travel diary filmed during Karim Aïnouz’s first trip to Algeria—where his father was born. Amongst travel records, home and historical footage, family photos and super-8 footage, the film weaves a fine stitch between the love story of the director’s parents, the Algerian War of Independence, childhood memories and the contrasts between Kabylie—a mountainous region in the north of Algeria—and Fortaleza, where Karim and his mother Iracema were born. In the film, past, present, and future are sewn together in a singular journey.
