Written by Demang with Rosa Atab and produced by AMI, Vixens and Wayward Films, damn it It tells the story of a man who returns to his native Paris and observes how he “moves through memories of his past and presents surreal fragments, seeking connection and volume among the shifting mosaic of characters and places”. You are constantly faced with the question: What is it like to be at home with others?
The theme is especially resonant for a demagogue who left Paris at age 2 with his mother and older brother, leaving behind his brother, father and name, and distancing himself from his Algerian heritage.

Matthews said that cinema was a great passion of his since childhood. “And my career in fashion has served my love of films a lot in terms of directing and writing, as well as character or costume development,” she said in a statement. “On a personal level, for both myself and AMI, there was a great desire to create a true cinematic story.
He continued: “It was the beginning of an extraordinary adventure with Ian Demang, a director who has fascinated me for a long time. We gave him freedom and he created damn it, Wonderful, emotional and very intimate short film about a father and his childhood. Now I realize that the values that were at AMI from the beginning (family, friendship, love, sharing) are also the values that best reflect the big screen.
For his part, Demang said he wanted to play with space and time to create a hybrid cinematic experience that was “based on the truth of a live experience, printed with a very artistic lens, to evoke emotion”. He added: “This film is moving, honest, emotional and cinematic, but never exceptional – it has the spirit and beauty of a poem conveyed through the vocabulary of a variety of films, all by itself.”
