These short films shake up the traditional narrative on a variety of subjects and give us an honest, raw, unapologetic perspective. Refusing to accept the current narrative, these films are trying to accomplish flipping the script, bringing awareness, shedding light on major issues facing our Arab communities and making their country and eventually the world a better place.
A day that could also be a life. A young man who could also be an older woman. A nightmare that could also be a dream. In Tunisia, while it could also be somewhere else: on the border between the necessity and the fear to make a film, the necessity and the fear for the revolution, is ‘This Day Won’t Last’ a cooperation with a distance. That is how this self portrait turns into a group portrait. Clandestine, but straight from the heart: an end that could also lead to a new beginning.
