Les Fleurs du Bitume screening at Bristol University

Synopsis: Ouméma paints graffiti, Chaima dances, Shams performs slam poetry. Three young women, of the Tunisian revolution, who share the struggle for women’s freedom in their country. They lead a peaceful fight, through their practice, with the street as their stage, they aim to recapture this space, largely occupied by men in Tunisia. Their commitment to their art means that their daily lives fluctuate between fear, hope, creativity and a thirst for freedom.

We will be joined by director Caroline Péricard, journalist Melissa Chemam, documentary protagonist Oumema and young film students for a post-screening discussion.

Chair: Professor Siobhan Shilton.
