Personal shots from the Sahara, where machine guns have muted the music, interspersed with concert footage from Europe’s stages – the world of Tamikrest in a few images. Director Peter Braats met the band in Bamako in 2010, and was fully taken by their music and charisma. He went for the purest possible representation in his film: he gave members cameras to record their experiences. The images are filled with longing and quiet poetry, telling a story of the conflict-torn Azawad region, of disillusionment and rebirth.

Documentary in Tamasheq–French–English–German with English surtitles

The screening is jointly presented by Müpa Budapest and Hangvető in the framework of the Bartók Spring.
