Namibian Premiere: "Satin Rouge" By Raja Amari (Tunisia), on Wed., 16 May 2012, 18.30h, FNCC

On Wednesday, 16 May 2012 at 18.30h AfricAvenir & Franco Namibian Cultural Centre present the Namibian premiere of the Tunesian film "Satin Rouge" by Director-Screenwriter Raja Amari (Tunisia 2002 | 91min). Lilia is an attractive widow with a teenage daughter, Salma. Lilia lives a rather sad existence, obsessively cleaning her house, watching television, and eating alone while Salma hangs out with friends. When Lilia goes to check out the place where Salma goes to dancing class she suspects - rightly - that her daughter is involved with a musician. But it's Lilia whose life is changed by her contacts with a world she knows nothing about - a world of nightclubs where belly dancers perform. "Tunisian-born writer-director Raja Amari (...) plays out Lilia's personal reawakening slowly, with a canny balance of made-for-export feminist flair (...)" (Lisa Schwarbaum, Entertainment weekly).
