Quote:
After several decades of colonial cinema using Africa as an exotic setting – often denying humanity and dignity to its people – and 70 years after the invention of the cinema, freshly independent Africans take hold at long last of that movie-camera which had been forbidden to them for so long. Despite a total lack of means and infrastructures, and filming against all odds, using by chance any African or foreign support, they try to show African reality in its variegated forms, as it is seen at last through African eyes. Using large extracts from the main films, interventions of filmakers, and rare vintage footage CAMERA D’AFRIQUE recalls the early 20 years of those new “author films”, created in Sub-Saharan Africa, which bear witness to an amazing thirst for showing and expressing themselves, never extinguished to this day.

Synopsis
In La Goulette, a small harbour town in the Tunis suburbs, Youssef, the Muslim, Jojo, the Tunisian Jew, and Giuseppe, the Sicilian Catholic, are as inseparable as their three 16-year-old daughters, Meriem, Gigi and Tina. In a fit of provocation the three girls all swear that they’ll lose their virginity on the day of the feast of the Madonna, each with a boy from a religion different to hers ! Once this taboo is brought out into the open, all three families fall out. But the friendship between the three fathers is so strong that it reconciles them, closer than ever before… until the eve of the Israel-Arab Six Day War in 1967 that forces apart Jews and Arabs all over the world.

The post Férid Boughedir – Un été à La Goulette AKA A Summer in La Goulette (1996) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Review: “Halfaouine, Boy of the Terraces” is a charming coming-of-age film from Tunisia that takes a rare look at the inner workings of Arabic culture — the stone- walled streets, alleys, rooftops and households of everyday Tunisia, where traditions seem little interrupted by the modern world.

With its focus on Muslim women, as seen through the eyes of a pubescent boy, this exotic production from African Arabic writer- director Ferid Boughedir is an amusing, poignant celebration of women in a culture where they are mostly veiled.
The straightforward story focuses on a 13-year-old boy named Noura (Selim Boughedir, the director’s nephew) in the summer when he still hangs around the house with his mother and aunts. His merchant father is off tending shop.
One of the delights of life for the Muslim women is to go to a bathhouse, and the mother takes Noura with her. Little does she know his eyes grow wider as he gapes at the bare breasts through the teasing veils of bath mist. He is soon overtaken by a sense of eroticism he can’t quite understand.

Noura’s awakenings bring to him an awareness of playful, sometimes lascivious sexual interchanges everywhere he turns. Two older boys he tries to befriend are constantly pestering girls, but they dismiss Noura as too “babyish” to understand why. The boy hangs around the shop of a local cobbler who is also a balladeer, and who seeks a fervent courtship with Noura’s recently divorced aunt. Even Noura’s father sometimes seems a little overly affectionate toward his prettier customers.
The boy soon begins to regale his previously scornful buddies with tales from the baths, and they trade comic books for more voyeuristic details. But Noura is caught and banished from the baths.
The film maker takes none of it too seriously, which gives his tale a genuine sweetness, and the boy is a delight throughout.

Boughedir’s movie is radical, too, for its look at Muslim women, how they interact, how they gossip and in fact how they look without gowns and veils.
In a not-so-subtle subplot, the film maker interweaves the unrelenting work of political fundamentalists who are always on the prowl for violators of Muslim moral codes or for critics of the repressive, fundamentalist-driven political regime. [SFGate]
