Bastien Dubois
Born in Lille, France, in 1983, Bastien Dubois graduated from Supinfocom Valencienne in 2006 with a diploma in digital filmmaking for his short film AH. After hitchhiking from Lille to Istanbul, he came up with the idea of an animated travel log. Madagascar, carnet de voyage, his first professional film, recounts his memories of a year on the big red island. The film was screened at over 200 international film festivals, including Clermont-Ferrand, Annecy and Sundance, and was nominated for an Oscar in 2011. In 2012, he produced Portraits de voyages, a series of 20 animated travelogues. In 2013, Bastien released Cargo Cult, an animated short set in Papua New Guinea during the Second World War. The same year, he founded the Art Brutal association, which organizes workshops, interventions and exhibitions, and offers an annual grant for a first film. Bastien Dubois is also a multifaceted artist, practicing sculpture, tattooing, linocut and silkscreen.

For ten years, a filmmaker tries to make a film based on his grandfather's memories of the Algerian War. Both a denial of history and a family taboo, the questions raised by the subject remain unanswered, leaving personal and collective memory shrouded in silence. The narrative delves into unspoken shame and the search for a hidden past, ultimately resolved through the making of the film.
