Thank you, Tony Gatlif, for the journeys.
For the music.
For the people you brought to the screen.
Latcho Drom. 🖤✨
Today, we remember Tony Gatlif (1948–2026), the French-Algerian filmmaker whose work was deeply connected to Roma culture, music, displacement, identity and the search for freedom.
Throughout his career, Gatlif developed a distinctive style of filmmaking in which music, movement and human stories came together naturally. Films such as Latcho Drom, Gadjo Dilo, Exils and Djam explored journeys across borders and cultures, often focusing on people and communities rarely given space on screen.
His cinema was full of rhythm, emotion and a powerful sense of place, celebrating cultural diversity while questioning ideas of belonging and home.
His voice and his films will continue to travel. 🖤
