Tribute to Dalila Ennadre : Jean Genêt, Notre-Père-des-Fleurs
Jean Genet spent the last ten years of his life in Larache, Morocco. In the old Spanish cemetery where he rests by the sea, a modest family of guardians watches over him with affection and constancy.
Dalila Ennadre is a Moroccan director renowned for her documentaries on Moroccan daily life. Morocco constitutes its privileged ground. She mainly films women there, among others in El Batalett, women of the Medina (2000) and Je voudrais vous raconter (2005). She directed around ten documentaries between 1987 and 2019. Dalila Ennadre died on May 14, 2020 following a long illness, while working on the editing of her last film Jean Genet, Notre-Père-des-Fleurs (2021), completed thanks to his editor, Catherine Mantion, and his daughter Lilya, with a group of filmmaker friends who were close to her until her last days.
