Former Villa Albertine resident Bojina Panayotova<\/a> revisits a pivotal moment in American feminist history. 1980. Thousands of women surround the Pentagon. They protest, weep, weave, create. They awaken another form of power and invent a new form of action. With Love and Rage is a political and musical incantation that brings this uprising back to life. The film weaves together archives, stories, voices, and songs, allowing a collective political voice and the personal stories that make it up to emerge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1960, in the heart of the Sahara Desert, France detonated its first atomic bomb in Reggane, Algeria, forever changing the land and its people. Even today, the inhabitants and animals continue to suffer the consequences in total silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of Your Tenderness<\/a><\/em><\/strong>

France, Algeria
In Arabic
NYC Premiere<\/strong>
Screening: Wednesday, November 18, 2026, at 4 PM, IFC Center<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From footage shot by her younger brother when he was a child, Zoulikha revisits the gentleness of the past. In these family archives, she seeks to understand where tenderness has been lost. The film, which opens with a Mediterranean legend, gradually becomes a journey through memory, a poem addressed to a brother consumed by anger. Over the trembling images of childhood, the voice of the filmmaker, the older sister, attempts to hold on to what remains, to understand how tenderness could have turned into violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
