The first restoration by Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Foundation is a classic documentary profiling the vibrant Moroccan folk band Nass El Ghiwane. 'Trances' are the equivalent of western soul music, drawing on the last thousand years of Moroccan and African history and fusing it with the energy of rock'n'roll. Huge stars in their home country when the film was made, the film meshes footage of a hugely exciting stadium gig and enlightening, low key interviews with the charismatic and self effacing stars, like an Eastern equivalent of Scorsese's Last Waltz.
