“The Trial of a dead man” tells the story of a lawyer grieving the recent death of her prominent husband accused posthumously of rape.
Born in Casablanca, Morocco, Taha Jamai is a film director, scriptwriter and producer, graduate from the Warsaw Film School. He started to sharpen his cinematic eye through photography at an early age, before devoting himself to cinema. His observing nature allowed him to analyze and learn about the society he lived in; the Moroccan society. A society where traditions and religion mingle openly. After arriving in Poland, he noticed that despite the many differences in religion, history and culture, the construction of Polish and Moroccan society was very similar. His aim is to dissect every side of life, from the darkest to the brightest and to question human nature. Taha projects himself in an engaged cinema where he denounces obscurantism and analyzes social issues that prevent progress towards more open and democratic societies.
