Making Athena (2022): Cast

The documentary follows every stage of ATHENA’s production, offering a detailed look at its most talked‑about moments—from the audacious twelve‑minute continuous shot to the daring sequence that lifted the cameraman thirty metres into the air. It explores how director Romain Gavras turned his vision into reality with co‑writer Ladj Ly and actor Dali Benssalah (Abdel), and how GENER8TION’s score underpins the film’s modern tragedy tone.
