Award winning director Nejib Belkhadi focuses on the grassroots filmmaking efforts of a small town movie director/house painter, Mouncef Kahloucha. Reminiscent of the indie classic “American Movie”, Belkhadi stays true to local Tunisian comedic sensibilities while winning over audiences internationally.

Join us for a screening of the documentary and a conversation with the filmmaker moderated by Samera Esmeir, Assistant Professor in the Department of Rhetoric at UC Berkeley.
