Katia Kameli Bledi
uno scenario possibile [Bledi a possible scenario]
Project promoted by Love Difference
Bledi a possible scenario, by Katia Kameli (Franco- Algerian artist and filmmaker), is the provisional title of a group of projects launched by the artist after a journey to Algeria.
‘Bledi’ is a documentary film played over the many layers of Algerian reality. The eye behind the viewfinder is the director's as she goes over her past searching for a chance for change.
The journey begins at Marseilles with the departure of the mythical ship ‘Méditerranée’ and unfolds along with the thoughts, memories, and past and future expectations of Algerian émigrés coming back to their homeland. On arrival, attention is centred on everyday living,
especially on the condition of women and the new generations. Workshop ‘Tournage/ Montage Alger’: during the filming of ‘Bledi'’ the artist met students of Political Science and Journalism from the Ben Aknoun University, and art students from Algiers Academy who
confided to her their disagreement with the images portraying their country abroad.
Lack of training and audio-visual materials prevents students from expressing their points of view on the situation in Algeria. A proposal emerged from this discussion to set up a workshop on the image and its applications in order to stimulate an exchange of ideas on the audio-visual medium, the idea being to give students the chance of expressing their thoughts and ideas on Algerian identity.
