Scope and content
Boujad is a personal and anguishing look at issues of separaton, independence and return. As director Hakim Belabbes chronicles his journey from his home in Chicago to visit his family in his hometown of Boujad in Morocco, his exploration of family relationships is self-conscious and at times painfully honest. We witness his most private moments with his family. Belabbes' film intimately explores the domestic spaces and religious rituals of intra-family relationships, especially when compounded by one member's break with traditional values.

Archivist's note
I was born on Feb. 20th 1961, in Bejjaad -a small town in central Morocco- where my father owned the only movie theater in town. I also received my primary and secondary education in Bejjaad. After a Bachelor of Arts in American and African Literature from Mohamed V University in Rabat, Morocco (1983), and a Diplôme des Etudes Approfondies in African Literature at Lyon University, France (1986), I traveled to the United States where I received a Master of Fine Arts in Film and Video from Columbia College in Chicago (1993). Between 1994 and 1996 I headed the Audio Visual Dept. at Hassan II Foundation in Rabat, Morocco, where I produced/directed a series of documentaries on the Moroccan immigrants’ experience in Europe. My work was co-produced with TF1, RTBF, 2M and RTM Television networks. For the past few years I have been working as a freelance director of TV ads and as a part time instructor of film at Columbia College in Chicago. Some of my works include: • Threads, 2003 a first feature film (Venise, Montreal, Chicago, Carthage, Alexandria, Bangkok international film festivals) www.threadsmovie.com • Tell the Water, 2002, a piece on a flash flood in a small town in • R’maa, 2001 a documentary about a group of Moroccan farmer musicians who consider themselves their tribe’s reporters. • Three Angels, No Wings, 2001 a day in the life of three kids with disabilities in a small Moroccan town. • A Witness, 2001 a moment in the day of an old homeless woman with Parkinson’s Disease in Morocco. • Whispers, 2000 a short narrative/experimental piece. • Still Ready, 1997 a documentary film on three women of the Moroccan resistance against the French Colonisation. • A Shepherd and a Rifle, 1998 a documentary about Moroccan resistance fighter Ahmed El-Hansali • Voices from the Arab World, 1997 a series of documentaries on five children from five different Arab countries • Nest in the Heat, 1993/2001 a personal diary documentary.
