The feature film The Blond Boy from the Casbah tells the story of Antoine Lisner, a filmmaker who grew up in war-torn 1960s Algiers.

Revisiting the place as an adult, he remembers emotional moments of his youth, spent between school, friends, and his Jewish family. Coming of age during Algeria’s pre-independence period, the young Antoine discovered a profound fascination with cinema.
