Linked to Maha, Hind, Raouf and Michel who surround Nahla, he witnesses the construction of the myth of Nahla, a singer adored by the Arab population. One day Nahla loses her voice on stage. The atmosphere of crisis that reigns around her is spreading like an infection. Larbi, fascinated, loses his footing and gets bogged down.</p><p>Farouk Beloufa, Born in 1947 in Oued Fodda (Algeria).Farouk Beloufa studied cinema at the INC, the Algerian film school that soon disappeared, before graduating from IDHEC in Paris. He also took courses at the École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris, under the direction of Roland Barthes, and submitted a thesis on cinema theory. On his return to Algeria, his first major production, Insurrectionnelle (1973), was censored. The content of this 90-minute compilation was reworked and produced without a signature. Nahla (1979), is his only feature film.</p><p>Special thanks to Kunsthalle Basel</p><p>*********</p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/forde_gva/\">https://www.instagram.com/forde_gva/</a></p><p></p><p></p>","cover":{"url":"https://23-26.forde.ch/media/pages/archives/screens-nahal-farouk-beloufa/480a07b0ca-1737041794/forde-sans-1-1200x-q80.webp","alt":"Forde"},"videos":"","medias":[{"url":"https://23-26.forde.ch/media/pages/archives/screens-nahal-farouk-beloufa/0878229d70-1737042459/nahla-1200x-q80.webp","alt":"Forde","caption":null,"id":"archives/screens-nahal-farouk-beloufa/nahla.jpeg"},{"url":"https://23-26.forde.ch/media/pages/archives/screens-nahal-farouk-beloufa/8864f29596-1737042577/nahla2-1024x576-1200x-q80.webp","alt":"Forde","caption":null,"id":"archives/screens-nahal-farouk-beloufa/nahla2-1024x576.jpg"}]}
