Transeuropa Festival Presents
CARTE BLANCHE TO THE CINEMATHEQUE DE TANGER
A selection of short films made before the revolutions that shook the Arab world in 2011 which question the recent history of countries like Lebanon, Tunisia and Morocco through storytelling. The programme also includes a debate with film director Danielle Arbid, actor Khalid Abdalla, co-founder of Cinematheque de Tanger Yto Baradda and chaired by director of the Arab Film Festival Omar Kholeif.
Stories related to underground and political commitment, to terrorism, revolutions and civil wars, told by those who lived these realities and directed by filmmakers of the new generation. Recent revolutions, enclosed under the category Arab Spring, show the important role that civil society play beyond military and political standard frame.
The project of Cinematheque de Tanger was born thanks to the eagerness of a group of artists who wanted to show less known and less projected cinema in Morocco which derived from distant geographical and aesthetic backgrounds.
