CineMAS – Under the Fig Tree: dir Erige Sehiri (2022)

29 May 2023 @ 7.30 pm9.15 pm

AED 30

In northwest Tunisia, young women work the summer harvest. Largely improvised and set on a single day, this film by Erige Sehiri (who is perhaps better known as a documentary maker) packs argument, gossip, romance and social criticism into a busy day of fruit picking in Northern Tunisia. Friendships, enmities, generational and political disputes and embryonic and failed love affairs are revealed to us … Highly recommended.

This film opens the CineMAS contemporary Arab cinema series, a mini-festival of independent films curated by Hind Mezaina and presented by the NYUAD Film and New Media Program in partnership with the NYUAD Arts Center. Day tickets are AED 30, weekend (Saturday & Sunday) tickets are AED 50, a full-week pass is AED 150.
