Tunis, October 31, 2008- A 33 mm movie by the Tunisian director Fadhel Jaziri, whose preview will take place at the close of the Carthage Film Festival on November 1, was presented to the press on Friday in Tunis, in the presence of the director and the cast.
The film will be shown to the public for the first time on November 2, 2008.
The film which is dubbed “Thalathun” (Thirty), is a cinematographic reading of the historical events which have marked Tunisia’s history from 1924-34, including the emergence of the national movement.
The scenario written jointly by Fadhel Jaziri and the writer Aroussia Nallouti, is based on historical facts, as well as eye witness accounts of the period, which was marked by the work of the great Tunisian reformer Tahar Haddad, Abou El Kacem the country’s main poet and the Leader Habib Bourguiba.
In attempting to recreate the atmosphere of the thirties in Tunisian, the director was also concerned with foregrounding the concerns of the men and women of the time, both caught in the stronghold of French rule and aspiring for emancipation and modernity.
A big budget film, “Thalathun” was realized with the latest cutting edge cinematographic technology and produced at the Gammarth studios, north of Tunis.
