Transcript

00:00Welcome to Mediane TV and Zoom in this cultural chronicle about a musician-comedian that you all know, Younes Migri,

00:17who has just released a new film, not in Morocco, but in Tunisia, called Belle de nuit,

00:25where he plays the main role, a film directed by Khadija Lemkacher.

00:32Younes Migri, it's a pleasure and an honor to be with you.

00:36Younes Migri, thank you very much for accepting our invitation.

00:40First, tell us about this Tunisian adventure.

00:43Hello. It's an adventure that started two years ago.

00:50We started the preparation, etc.

00:54We shot it about a year ago, and the film is now ready to be broadcast.

01:00And we have the opportunity this year to present it at the Festival International du Caire.

01:05So it is in official competition at the Festival International du Caire, which will last from 13 to 22 November.

01:13What's funny in this film, we're going to tell a few stories.

01:17You play the main role, and we're talking about boxing.

01:21Younes Migri, the singer of romantic music, how did he find himself in this boxing adventure?

01:30Well, first of all, because an actor must always renew himself, so not always do the same thing.

01:39And when I was offered this shoot, I was delighted.

01:43First, because I had known the producer of this film, who was assistant director, Mosleh Krim,

01:52who was the first assistant in the film in which I played with Farid Ablyazid, Casablanca, Casablanca.

01:58And at the time he had spoken to me, he told me, one day I will call you for a film.

02:03And indeed, he thought about me for a long time.

02:06And when he wrote this script, he called me, he said, here, I found the role you should play.

02:12And indeed, it's a role that I liked a lot.

02:16First, because it's a role that is totally different from everything I've done so far.

02:22The story of a boxing coach.

02:25But the story is not limited to boxing.

02:28There is also the search for a body in the middle of the Mediterranean, on a boat, etc.

02:33So practically half of the film takes place underwater and above water.

02:37So, a first role in a...

02:40You have obviously participated in other foreign productions, but it's a first role in a foreign film.

02:46And you didn't choose the easiest dialect for us, at least Moroccans.

02:53How did this immersion in the Tunisian dialect come about?

02:58How did you get involved to play this role?

03:01Well, I'll tell you a secret.

03:03I lived practically five years in Tunisia.

03:05But not the whole year.

03:07I lived about four to six months in Tunisia for five years.

03:11So, for...

03:13But it's been a very, very long time.

03:15I had to find the singing sound of the Tunisian language.

03:19And that's...

03:21It really made me happy.

03:24And it certainly helped you to play this role.

03:29I would like to see the look of the actor who is used to working with Moroccan cinema.

03:36I remind you that your news is that you play in the last film of Kamel Kodamour,

03:43which was presented at the 24th edition of the Tanger Film Festival.

03:48But when you work with a foreign production,

03:52whether it's from the world, or whether it's from the Maghreb, whether it's African,

03:57how does this collaboration happen?

04:01We're not used to seeing a lot of it.

04:03But how did this collaboration happen?

04:06Well, you know, when you're with professionals, the problem never arises.

04:09First of all, because we have the same goal.

04:11We want to make this film, or this project.

04:14So there's a total agreement.

04:16There's a kind of communion.

04:19And it's going very well.

04:20Even with the Tunisian actors.

04:22I was a little...

04:24Well, I was a little...

04:26How should I put it?

04:27Reticent?

04:28Yes, reticent.

04:29I was a little afraid of the reaction of the Tunisian actors,

04:32because I played the first role in this film.

04:34And in the end, everything went very well,

04:37whether it was with the technical team or the actors.

04:39Maybe one last question.

04:41I was saying, your news is that it's a film with Kamel Kemen,

04:45where there's music.

04:47And Khadija Al-Muqshir is a musician, because she played the violin.

04:52You're obviously a musician and a singer.

04:55We won't forget that.

04:56It's going to stick with you for the rest of your life.

04:58Is it a detail that can have an infinity with a director?

05:04Well, it's clear.

05:05First of all, because for me, an artist doesn't just limit himself

05:07to the things we know about him.

05:09Whether it's cinema, or music, or painting.

05:12For me, an artist is open to practically everything.

05:14And when he touches music or painting,

05:18it means that he's very open to any option for his films.

05:22And that's what brings us closest to a director.

05:25Yous Megri, thank you very much for accepting our invitation.

05:29I remind you that you just played the main role

05:34in a Tunisian film called Belle de Nuit,

05:36directed by Khadija Al-Muqshir.

05:39Thank you very much for accepting our invitation.

05:41Thank you very much.

05:42And thank you, dear viewers, for your loyalty.

05:46Stay with us.

05:47The information continues on our different channels,

05:50Arabic Media TV, Maghreb Media TV, African Media TV,

05:53and of course on our digital media, medianews.com.
