The Origins of Violence is a film that dives into the world of emotions and sensations, where the viewer gets to examine what it feels like to lose control of their own body. The film follows a young French couple whose discussion about their future together is unexpectedly interrupted by the intervention of the police. One of the main characters is detained for a routine identity check, and the flow of emotions and thoughts arising from the situation is depicted in a multi-gestural manner with the help of special effects.

Mohamed Bourouissa (b. 1978, Algeria) first gained recognition in the 2000s for his photographic work. He has since expanded his practice to include video and installation. His work often explores themes of social control and lived experience. This film is grounded in real-life events and is based on the personal story of a close friend.
