"Poussières de Juillet", produced in 1967 by Hachemi El-Chérif, is taken from a poem by Kateb Yacine. "We made a film on the return of the ashes of Emir Abdelkader, to Algeria. It was the opportunity to make a film on the ancestors with M'hamed Issiakhem. He designed glass plates on the basis of my texts. Then we had actors collaborate. It was a film which cost us a total of 300 dinars, proof that we could do work for television without too much money.

We won two first international prizes at the Belgrade festival. We left the original of the film with the Egyptians in Alexandria and they lost it. We kept a copy but over time I wonder what happened to it, because there is no didn't even have a screening, they say it still exists, but I don't know in what condition."

Kateb Yacine, July 28, 1986, interview with Arlette Casas.

Awarded at the Cairo International Television Festival in 1967 and Prague in 1968
