A Perfume of Memories: The Iraq We Forget Fevat Alani's poignant animation, "Flavours of Iraq," conjures up the past while serving as a reminder that our collective memory of Iraq is fragmented and often manipulated.
As a French Iraqi journalist, Alani's account of his childhood in 1980s Paris, where he grew up with his family in exile, is both deeply personal and historically significant.
The animation's stylized and expressionist style suits the fractured nature of memories, which can be both vivid and unreliable.
