Dammi had its premiere at the 2023 Locarno Film Festival and had its North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, receiving critical acclaim for its storytelling and powerful performances.

Dammi is produced by AMI PARIS, with Alexandre Mattiussi.
AMI Paris Founder and Creative Director, expressing his admiration for Demange’s vision, said, “There was a strong desire to produce a genuine cinema story. This was the start of an extraordinary adventure with Yann Mounir Demange, a director whom I have admired for a long time. He created Dammi, a magnificent, moving, very intimate short film about his father and his childhood.
