Oranges by Mouzahem Yahia. Algeria/France, 2003, 8 min, Beta SP US première

Somewhere between a video game and a slapstick comedy, Oranges is a comedic yet sage parable of the futility of fighting. What begins as a simple volley between two men who want the same orange soon escalates to relentless battle, filmed amidst the abundant colors and sights of an open-air market. In Arabic with English subtitles.
