Marshal Ammar poster
NR

A masterpiece of Tunisian theatre and arguably its most iconic production to date, Marshal Ammar has been performed over 300 times across Tunisia and remains deeply ingrained in popular culture, especially through its television broadcasts. The play tells the story of a wealthy yet uncultured man, Marshal Ammar, who desperately tries to bridge the gap between his social standing and the aristocracy. His misguided attempts to appear refined lead to a series of foolish decisions, resulting in comical and often farcical situations.

A pioneering film from Tunisia, Fatma 75 is the first non-fiction film by a Tunisian woman, a feminist essay film, and the first in a series of powerful films about strong female figures in the country. The film was made in the UN International Women's Year 1975, and has long been recognised as one of the most important films from North Africa, but has never officially been seen before due to censorship.
