"Silences of the Palace"
1994
Directed by Moufida Tlatli

This "exquisite, compelling" (Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times) film is a rare work by a woman filmmaker working in an Arab country, as well as an emotionally powerful look at the role of women in a changing world. Set in Tunisia in the 1950s, Tlatli tells the personal story of servant women living through the last days of French colonial rule, virtual prisoners in the palace of "the beys." Winner of the Camera d'Or at Cannes Film Festival. "A universal coming-of-age story with a feminist twist, a tale that translates effortlessly" (Caryn James, New York Times). Arabic and French with English subtitles.
127 minutes.
