Program Note
After the Arab Spring, director Manuele LABIDI emerged as one of the notable new directors this year with Arab Blues, a realistic yet humorous depiction of Tunisian society in transition, was invited to the Venice, Toronto and BFI London Film Festival in succession. With the ouster of dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, Selma, a psychoanalyst returns to her hometown of Tunisia after a decade in Paris. Although the second floor of the house is renovated to open a psychiatric clinic, a series of not-so-funny difficulties occur from the first day, and a female warrior Selma’s lonely struggle begins. Another work to find Golshifteh FARAHANI’s charm who starred in Jim JARMUSCH’s movie Paterson. (SEO Seunghee)
