After receiving awards for her films Horse of Mud and Sad Song of Touha at the Grenoble International Short Film Festival in 1973, the Egyptian documentary filmmaker Ateyyat Al-Abnoudy returns for the following edition to film behind the scenes. Deux festivals à Grenoble documents the organisation of the festival and the relation of its various stakeholders: organisers, filmmakers, publics. Made collaboratively in a workshop, the film is itself a document of attempts to demystify cinema and give it shape as another culture of outside of commercial and institutional frameworks. – EMAF
