MAURICE’S BAR

1942年，在一列开往未知方向的火车上，一位曾经的变装皇后回忆起她在巴黎最早的酷儿酒吧之一度过的一个夜晚。顾客们的闲谈残片让这个传奇酒吧及其神秘的犹太-阿尔及利亚裔老板重现银幕。

In 1942, on a train to nowhere, a former drag queen remembers a night from her past in one of the first queer bars in Paris. Remnants of customer gossip recall this mythic bar and its mysterious Jewish-Algerian owner.

在一项对上世纪北非和欧洲性少数群体故事的深入研究中，我们发现了莫伊兹·扎基不为人知的故事。他是一位阿尔及利亚裔犹太人，移民到法国并开了城市里第一家酷儿酒吧。这是一个关于“平凡的恶”的故事，关于一个充满了不同性别、性向和种族的人们的地方为何会引来外界如此深的恨意的故事。无论是那时还是现在，用属性来定义一个人，往往只是伤害不符合“社会模型”的“外人”的借口。

我们努力制作一部以莫伊兹和他的酒吧为依据的动画电影，展示边缘化社群的共同记忆，他们为自己创造的空间以及为保存自己被异性恋霸权的社会所禁止和抹除的记忆所采取的方法。

这部动画短片在充满戏剧性的同时，也带有趣味性与希望。相比他们所在的时代，莫伊兹·泽克里和他所在的社群的生活是非同寻常并值得被讲述的。他的故事给我们带来了启发，也让我们更深入了解酷儿的历史。

During an in-depth study of LGBTQ stories in North Africa and Europe in the last century we discovered the untold story of Moise Zakri, an Algerian Jew who emigrated to France and opened one of the first Queer bars in the city. This is a story about the banality of evil, how a place filled with people of all genders, sexualities and ethnicities came to attract so much hate. Back then and same as today, defining people by all these attributes was and still is just an excuse to harm and kill outsiders and people who are different from society’s “mold”.

We strive to create an animated film that will be based on Moise’s experiences and the existence of his bar. And to show the shared memory of marginalized communities, the spaces they create for themselves and the means by which they preserve the memory that has been banned and erased by hetronormative society.

This short animation is meant to be theatrical and dramatic but also funny and hopeful. Moise Zekri and his community lived an incredibly remarkable life in comparison to their time and it should be told, so it inspires us and and sheds a bigger light on queer history.
