FATMA 75 (1976, Tunisia) (Church of Film)

Sophonisba, Hasdrubal’s wife, Al-Kahina, Jalajil–all the women of Maghrebi history are the subject of this film, an essay piece and the first of its kind directed in Tunisia by a woman. Selma Baccar’s FATMA 75 is a sharp, witty, gorgeous feminist history of the country that was banned in its time, and is rarely enjoyed on screen to this day.
