This short film, shot clandestinely during the Algerian war, is based on drawings by Algerian children collected in 1961 in a refugee camp in Tunisia. Through their drawings, the children express the full horror of the war that forced them and their families to flee their country. The film was banned by the police and seized 17 times. It was not granted a censorship visa until 1974, twelve years after the end of the Algerian war. The making of J'ai huit ans is in line with the work of Frantz Fanon (an author and theorist committed to opposing colonialism, and an FLN activist from 1956 onwards), who, at the start of the Algerian war, was head physician at the Blida psychiatric hospital, As a psychiatrist, he devoted a chapter of his book Les damnés de la terre to the psychopathological consequences of war and torture), who went to the refugee camps along the Algerian-Tunisian border in 1961 to collect children's drawings. This collection, begun with René Vautier, would become J'ai huit ans.
The word is like the fire that fell from the sky in the shape of Garizi (the tuber of power), which our ancestors once ate. It's not tangible, it can't bee seen, it is simply an exhalation (Jafaiki). Odo Buijidima.

“I wanted to live like modern women who live love”, says Fadma, now an elderly Berber lady, once employed by the French colonial army as a companion for soldiers during the Indo-China wars. Far from nostalgic or regretful, she makes for a open and utterly compelling central character in Dalila Ennadre's frank and intimate portrait of these Moroccan “comfort women” and their lives after the war. In the process, the film opens up a fascinating picture of a great sweep of Moroccan history.

When Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer commissioned James A. FitzPatrick's globe-trotting series of short films called Traveltalks, little did they realize the lasting entertainment value these seemingly innocuous one-reelers would possess. Each masterfully crafted film offers precious, priceless glimpses of people and lands soon to be invaded by the homogenizing influences of modern technology and consumer culture.
