After over 2 years of playing on the international festival circuit, the stunning Tunisian feature, Bab’Aziz, by veteran filmmaker Nacer Khemir, finally found American distribution with Arab Film Distribution. (AFF screened the Bab’Aziz at the 2006 Festival).

While already closing in New York and Los Angeles, the film will open in San Francisco and Berkeley on April 4th and in other cities across the country in the coming months.

“An Arabian dream that weaves timeless story threads with mystical and Sufi elements into a beautiful film object. . . as fascinating as reading a new chapter of 1,001 Nights.”
- Deborah Young, Variety
