Abelhak Najib's visions

My whole life has taken place in a very small perimeter named El Koudia block in Hay Mohammadi.

Show women that their bodies are sublime and that you have to enjoy them to the marrow.Tell men that women are insatiable and that you have to fuck them to death to thank them for having carried us in their bellies.

To forget, I had the books and the cinemas. There, where I didn't hear my pain in those of others, all these heroes, who one day or another, touched the ground like me to defend a dream. What I hated above all were the endless queues in front of the Saâda cinema (happiness, just that) or the Sheriff cinema.

Cinema of Tangiers

One day, a few years later, those who remained in our group, those who had resisted the sirens of Tangier and who had clung to the banns of Ibn Khatib to slip timidly out of the walls of Bab el Fahs, towards the third circle.

The Rex cinema was heavily overhanging the Grand d'Occident, a mentally impassable border between us and the European world. from the third circle, not knowing where to head between Mauritania, Goya, Roxy and Lux…the four cardinal points of our imminent cinephilia.

It was the end of the magic and the beginning of a beautiful love story with the image.
