Rome Rather Than You Series: New Directors/New Films [March 21 - April 1 2007] Director: Tariq Teguia, Release: 2006, Runtime: 111 This innovative visual portrait of a generation focuses on the story of Zina and Kamel—promising and resourceful young people who, disillusioned by Algeria’s ongoing civil war, decide to seek a future elsewhere. Bolstered by spirited repartee full of youthful flourish and vitality, they search the city of Algiers and its suburbs for a certain Bosco, an elusive smuggler who, it is said, can provide them with fake passports. Debut director Tariq Teguia depicts modern day Algiers as a dreamlike landscape of devastation, a world of immediate contrasts filled with a sense of foreboding that mirrors the mood of the two protagonists. co-production: Algeria/France/Germany Tariq Teguia taught contemporary art history at the Ecole Supérieure des Beaux Arts in Algiers and worked as a photographer and photojournalist before beginning his film career by making several acclaimed shorts. Rome Rather Than You is his feature debut. Wed Mar 28: 6:00pm at the Walter Reade Theater Thu Mar 29: 8:45pm at The Museum of Modern Art
