Scene 01 · EXT. AGADIR · DAY
Director
I directed two feature documentaries in Agadir: the memory of a cinema, and a venue for music and Gnawa traditions.
A film by MoBen
The memory of Cinéma Salam, an emblematic landmark of Agadir: testimonies, community organizers, academics, and the question of its preservation.

Interstellar: Murph Saves the World
92 shots in 8 min 11 s. Average shot: 5.3 s, shortest 0.3 s, longest 41.5 s. Two rooms, two eras: the edit makes Murph’s bedroom and Cooper’s bookshelf talk to each other. Short shots alternate, then the camera stays with him in the tesseract, with no cut.

52 shots in 4 min 19 s (27 hard cuts and 24 dissolves). Average shot: 5.0 s, shortest 0.9 s, longest 24.3 s. Almost as many dissolves as cuts: the dissolve does the work of memory here, each recollection overlapping the old man before it fades.
