Otherwise Invent 2026

Directed by Meriam Jarboua

Altrimenti Inventa is an archival documentary that addresses the lack of representation of North African populations who migrated to Italy before the 1990s. It attempts an experimental reinvention of the missing archive, starting with the director's family history and then moving towards a more collective dimension, questioning the themes of identity, memory, and their relationship with what we choose to preserve and why.
