ملاحظة المنتج

When Amel gave me the 1st draft of "Tunis-Djerba" to read, I was immediately sensitive to the way she dealt with serious topics such as depression, unemployment, emigration... in a subtle way, without falling into melodrama. I was transported by the lightness of the characters going through the hardships of life with courage and humor. I also loved the imagination aspect that, I think, gives this road movie depth and originality. I was joined on board by Karim Aïtouna, from French company Haut Les Mains Productions, who was sensitive to Amel's style and original way to mix social criticism with comedy without falling into clichés. He also wanted to take part in bringing this new voice to the screen. After 5 years of development, we managed to shoot “Tunis-Djerba”. We went for it, even if we didn’t have all the money secured, but the team believed so much in the project that we wanted it to come to light as soon as possible. Distribution wise, we see “Tunis-Djerba” as an arthouse mainstream with feel-good moments. Its natural first audiences are Arab and Mediterranean youngsters who may feel related to the characters’ issues and adventures. The film may also be appealing to Western movie selective audiences who look for diversity and are interested in Arab and African social issues.
