Framer Framed presents, in collaboration with Festival Cinema Arabe, a screening of the documentary The Turtles’ Song: A Moroccan Revolution.
The Moroccan Spring began on February 20, 2011, when Moroccans took to the streets to protest against the autocratic regime. Unlike elsewhere however, it didn’t come to a revolution. Documentary filmmaker Jawad Rhalib portrayed activists and artists who continue to fight for their freedom. Is Morocco the revolutionary turtle of the Arab world? And how can artists reflect on crisis, turmoil and uncertainty in a repressive climate? After the screening, we will talk about these and related questions with the audience.
After the screening we will talk with Mohammed el Khalfiouli, political scientist and journalist of the Belgian newspaper De Morgen, Karima el Fillali, singer / artist. The talk will be led by Mirthe Frese, Programmer policy at De Balie.
