Ziyara

2023 MENA Canada Filmmaking Grant-winning film. Screened at MENA 5 as a work in progress preview.
Synopsis:

At once a contemplative search for traces from the past and a voyage of discovery: up until the 1950s more than 300,000 Jews lived in Morocco, including the family of the filmmaker Simone Bitton. She drives across the country, visiting cemeteries and the remains of Jewish quarters and synagogues. At the same time, she discusses Jewish-Muslim relations with the locals who lovingly care for this abandoned heritage.
