The exhibition examines the contribution of filmmakers and performers of Maghrebi immigrant origin since the 1960s. Film excerpts and archival material trace these artistic careers, with a screening programme accompanying the exhibition.

Clémentine Deroudille and Lucile Humbert Beldjoudi curate the show. Reporting by 20 Minutes describes a display bringing together popular figures and lesser-known works, extending beyond a history confined to immigrant characters on screen.
