Between April 17th to 22nd the Centre national du cinéma et de l’image and the Cinémathèque tunisienne organised a series of screenings called “Preservation of the work of Mohamed Malas”. Born in 1945, this well-known Syrian director graduated from the Ecole normale at Damascus. He began his film career in the 1970s in Russia. In the 80s, he worked for Syrian television, directing dramas and documentaries such as “Al-Manam” (The Dream) in 1987, about Palestinian refugees in Lebanon. His most famous films were screened, including his second feature “Al-lail”, winner of the Golden Tanit at the 1992 Carthage Film Days. His lesser-known films, including three for children, were also shown during the week.
