Mark Twain's America interweaves the life and times of Mark Twain with the lives of current day enthusiasts who revel in the inventions and way of life of the 19th century. Utilizing archival stereo-optic photos, powerful images from the past seemingly come alive in a larger-than-life presentation. Archival photos representative of Twain and what he saw and experienced in his time are juxtaposed against scenes of actual present day recreations of that era.

"In 1904, disgusted by the aftermath of the Spanish-American War and the subsequent Philippine-American War, Mark Twain wrote a short anti-war prose poem called "The War Prayer." His family begged him not to publish it, his friends advised him to bury it, and his publisher rejected it, thinking it too inflammatory for the times. Twain agreed, but instructed that it be published after his death, saying famously: None but the dead are permitted to tell the truth."

In his show, he invites us to discover with tenderness, humor and poetry his childhood in the oldest neighborhood of France, Le Panier in Marseille. In this country where Ali grew up, cultures and dialects intersect and blend, the scents of oriental spices rub shoulders with those of Italian tomato sauces, and in a quarter of an hour you get furious and then reconcile over a glass. Ali... in the land of wonders is more than a succession of sketches: it is a true story - or an almost true story - filled with quirky, funny and touching characters, a contemporary fable. After the success of his tour in France and at the Avignon Festival, Ali Bougheraba is back in Paris. Winner of the Jury Prize at the Vienne Comedy Festival 2012, the Audience Prize at the Villard de Lans Festival 2011 and the winner of the Factorire in 2009, Ali is a storyteller with a unique and unclassifiable humor.

“Sardar Gurcharan Singh was the father of studio pottery in India. "Daddyji" as most called him lovingly was very close to my father. I often tagged along to visit his home studio where pottery wheels were lined up under the big neem trees in his old brick house. My father wanted me to make a film on Daddyji, who was then 95. He was afraid that Daddyji's wonderful story would be left untold. He not only introduced studio pottery in India but due to his longevity, mentored many potters. So despite not knowing anything about films, I made the documentary, Imprint in Clay with a classmate of mine, which was mostly funded by my father.”
