Biography
Founded by Touda Bouanani, Maya Ouabadi and Léa Morin, Intilak is a research and publishing project dedicated to cinema texts (e.g. manifestos, essays, interviews, collections and screenplays) that have been forgotten and minoritised by filmmakers, theorists and critics of the cinematic avant-garde. By exhuming, collecting and studying these major texts, Intilak seeks to bring them out of invisibility, put them back into the centre and facilitate their circulation. Intilak’s collection was born from the desire of the founders—artists, editors and researchers committed to the rewriting of art and film narratives—to access archives and share knowledge and work around an urgent need: to give voice to the absent.
The collective pays particular attention to practices (e.g. craft, film, technical elements) and transversal knowledge (decompartmentalisation of disciplines) as well as to the valorisation of emerging artists and unknown literary, artistic and cinematographic heritage.
