Film Trust Blog

The Cambridge Film Trust is excited to be bringing to Cambridge a unique selection of films from the Ciné-Lumière’s Festival of Women’s Cinema from Tangiers to Tehran. Our selection juxtaposes rarely-seen masterpieces such as Algerian writer Djebar’s LA NOUBA (1978), with compelling new releases like CARAMEL (2007). We are particularly delighted to welcome filmmaker Yamina Benguigui to present her work on the experiences of North African immigrants in France, in a special debate after the screening of INCH’ALLAH DIMANCHE (2000).
