“Milk and Cookies” reimagines the tale of Little Red Riding Hood, transforming it into a powerful metaphor to tell a story of abuse. Reality and fantasy blend in this intimate narrative, culminating in a verse that symbolizes healing through art. This bittersweet gothic tale gives voice to an experience that is, unfortunately, all too common and often normalized.

Duration: 27 minutes Documentary, Italy – 2023
What if your inner world was on the verge of collapse, and all you wanted, while reminiscing, was to reconnect with a lost friend? This work’s concept emerged from retracing the places of my childhood, where I felt as if time had slowed down, enveloped by the gravitational field of forgotten things.

Hamza Meddah is a 25-year-old Moroccan. His story begins in 2018, when, just twenty years old, he manages to leave his hometown of Rabat to pursue a dream: studying cinema. That dream turns into a nightmare when he decides to leave university during a period of confusion and uncertainty, without foreseeing the consequences of abandoning his studies in a country where mistakes are not easily forgiven, especially if you are not European.
