​
Kilikis… the Town of Owls WINNER
Dir. Azlarabe alaoui
Morocco
The Town of Owls is an isolated residential community situated in the
High Atlas Mountains. It is inhabited by families and guards of a secret
Political prison camp, which remained out of history for a long time until
The early 1990s. Guards spend their long days back and forth between the
Secret prison and the village, through a suspension bridge built upon a deep
Valley that connects the village with the fortress prison. The story is about
People from different places with dissimilar destinies, yet coalesced together
By common fate that makes them realize that the Town of Owls is in fact a
titanic Prison in which everyone, including guards and residents are
held detainees.
