AFMI’s very own Eman Ibrahim has written a wonderful piece on The Life and Career of Moufida Tlatli for FilmSlop.
“Without a doubt, Moufida Tlatli has left behind a significant legacy in both Arab and feminist cinema. A master of montage, she used her ability to embroider complicated yet heartened love letters to Tunisia and to Tunisian women—the women stuck between desire and reality, who struggle to achieve personal sovereignty, from adolescence to old age. Such themes speak directly to Tunisian and Arab women, yes, but are still deeply relevant to all women in modern societies; her feminist message is rich and timeless.”
Dive into Eman’s writing to learn more about Moufida Tlatli’s life and work, and join us in New York City, San Francisco, or online for Arab Women in the Arts 2025 to watch some of her films.
