Embroidered Canticles 

     France, 1991, 26 minutes, color (16mm/video) 

     French, Arabic and Hebrew with English subtitles 

     Director: Izza Genini

The matrux is a unique form of Moroccan-Jewish music which fuses Hebrew and 
Arabic texts. The music and the texts are derived from Andalusian traditions of 
music and poetry, reflecting the centuries-old link between Jewish and Muslim 
societies. While the singer might address secular topics in Arabic, Hebrew is 
reserved
for sacred matters. This unique film features a live performance with Rabbi 
Haim Louk and Abdelsadek Chekara and interviews with performers and scholars.
