Lassaad Jamoussi presents Films from Tunisia
From Pale Red by Mohammed Hammad
The Norwegian Short Film Festival has invited Lassaad Jamoussi, Professor at the faculty for International Art and Culture at the Sfax University, to screen new films from his homeland and talk about the situation in Northern Africa.
Despite the censorship of Tunisia’s old dictator, cinema, theatre and artistic creation have been able to penetrate the heart of social and political issues. This Tunisian programme of short films is a testament to this vigour with a variety of approaches and styles, through irony, dreams, social realism or fantasy. These Tunisian filmmakers offer a full and varied fresco of their country, married life, religion, illegal immigration, fomen’s condition, workers and artists in a changing country.

About the International Film Program
Incident By a Bank, dir. Ruben Östlund
At its best, a short film can be a succinct and provoking contribution to social discourse, a piece of art-film of the kind that burns its image on our retina or exists for x minutes as pure entertainment. The purpose of this year’s International Competition Programme is to show the short film in all of its many facets, with the further aim of presenting the widest possible international variation.
