Program
2:30 pm - Screening of the short film À minuit les enfants s'éteignent, directed by Sakeena Boukari
Synopsis: An isolated hamlet by the sea, in the middle of summer. The church bell strikes midnight. There are now only 24 hours left for Ambre - a young closeted lesbian - before blowing out her 18 candles and sealing her union with David - the one to whom she is promised, as required by the custom of her Afro-Caribbean community. But in the morning, the arrival of Adrielle overturns all her certainties...
4 pm - Performance Flagranti directed by Essia Jaïbi
Synopsis: In four days, the fate of six young Tunisians is overturned. Their loves are battered, their friendship is put to the test, and their citizenship flouted. Between fiction and documentary theater, Flagranti is inspired by the reality of the LGBTQIA+ community in Tunisia. In a multifaceted society, it is the story of a tipping point, a point of no return, entering the world of police stations, hospitals, harsh interrogations, retrograde laws, and commonplace injustice.
