"Bab El-Oued City" was awarded the International Critics' Prize at Cannes and the Arab Institute Prize at the 2nd Biennale of Arab Cinema in Paris. He then shot "Hey Cousin!" his sixth feature. He said that his film "was a kind of truce, more a comedy than a drama - although drama is present" because the film measures "the incredible distance separating two brothers living on either side of the Mediterranean." "Hey Cousin!" was selected for numerous international festivals and awarded, among others, the Arab Critics' Prize at the Directors' Fortnight at the 1996 Cannes International Film Festival. In 1998, he directed "Algiers-Beirut: A Souvenir" for the French/German cultural TV channel Arte.
