The story

What Is Planet Malek About?

The premise of Planet Malek without spoilers.

Though largely forgotten by his fellow Algerians, the music of Ahmed Malek endures. Known as the Ennio Morricone of Algiers, he composed scores for over 200 films, including many iconic works of the Algerian New Wave from the 1970s and 1980s. DJ and filmmaker Paloma Colombe travels to Algiers to explore his legacy, interviewing his daughter, friends, and former colleagues. The documentary features evocative nighttime imagery of the city, set against the backdrop of Malek’s pioneering and genre-defying music, which helped establish the concept of the home studio.
