'Dust from an Empire' wraps up 13th Bejaia film festival
Bejaia - APS
The thirteenth film festival of Bejaia (263-km east of Algiers) closed Saturday evening with the screening of "Dust from en Empire," a movie by French-Vietnamese filmmaker Lam Le.
"Dust from an Empire" (1983) deals with war, love, metaphysics, mysticism and ancient beliefs.
In his drama, Lam Le uses allegories and symbols to tell everything but show nothing, making sure the Pandora's Box about Indochina war will not be opened, a war that fell like a meteorite over that region, devastated then by epic sufferings, desolation, ruin and dust.
The author, who does not directly tackle the damaging effects of colonialism in his work, seized that opportunity to pay tribute to the population of Gaza (Palestine).

Paris - Emiratesvoice

The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
