Info

Ziyara means visit to the saints, a popular practice common to both Jews and Muslims in Morocco. Today most of the Jews have left, but their saints are still there. The director goes to meet their guardians, humble and magnificent muslim caretakers of her Jewish memory. The wound of separation is still open, the echo of the Middle Eastern wars hunts silently the encounter, but the camera reweaves the link. It gathers stories, smiles, hospitality and blessings, carrying the film towards a new complicity between the filmer and those who are filmed.

Ziyara Audience Reviews

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
