In tribute to the late Tunisian director Fadhel al Jaziri, Darat al Funun presents a screening of Al-Hadhra (2001). The Hadhra is a Sufi tradition practiced since the ninth century, bringing together collective recitation of litanies and devotional poetry, and gathering those present into a state of contemplation before the divine. Through the film, Al Jaziri approaches this tradition as a living heritage rather than a static relic.

The film will be screened in its original Arabic version with English subtitles. To register, please fill out the form here.
