Mohamed Bourouissa's Clermont-Ferrand Grand Prix winning Généalogie de la Violence is presented with an introduction from Moun Soussan.

"Imagine a film about police brutality, with no brutality. A film where nothing happens, yet you’re left baffled. Invisible violence, disguised under lawful humiliation. Domination wrapped in polite protocols. I started talking about making this short film back in 2018, but the idea of it was haunting me probably since the late 90s, when I started being constantly stopped by the police for “random identity checks. I felt a certain urgency to tell this very personal story."
