Come and join us for a special Q&A event with the director, music composer and maybe a couple of actors from 'Arab Blues', part of the French Film Festival selection this year. The event will be streamed via videoconferencing in the Reception area and will give you the possibility to interact with the team behind this film!

Selma, a psychotherapist, after living in Paris for most of her life, decides to return to her hometown in Tunisia to set up a new practice. The adjustment is not quite as smooth as Selma anticipates as many of the locals are suspicious about her approach to mental health. Nevertheless, Selma soon welcomes a steady flow of clients resulting in a hilarious series of larger-than-life encounters with the residents of the town, although she also comes to the attention of the local bureaucrats, who threaten to shut her down.

Arab Blues is a joyful and cathartic release, not unlike coming out of the therapist’s office, but with more laughs
