Berlin Premiere of the Award-Winning Moroccan Movie “Les Mécréants” (The Miscreants) with Director Mohcine Besri in Attendance, Thursday, 12 December 2013 at 8 pm, Hackesche Höfe Kino
AfricAvenir e.V. would like to invite you to the Hackesche Höfe Cinema to the Berlin Premiere of the award-winning movie „Les Mécréants” (The Miscreants, Original Arabic with German Subtitles) in the presence of the Moroccan director Mohcine Besri on Thursday, 12 December at 8 pm. On the order of their spiritual leader, three young Islamists kidnap a group of actors who are about to go on tour with their latest show. When the kidnappers arrive at the place of detention, they find themselves cut off from their base. Ensues a 7-day no exit situation, in which both sides are forced to live together, confront each other and challenge their mutual prejudices...
“This “closed society” refrains consciously from any caricature or black and white thinking. Because of the confrontation of the unstoppable libertarian elan with the religious obscurantism he deals with the “Arab spring” and at the same time defends an important ontological principle: The value of a human being cannot be measured on hand of his beard or her mini skirt.” Antoine Duplan, Le Temps, Suisse
Following the screening there will be an audience talk with director Mohcine Besri as well as a small reception in the foyer of the cinema.
