Pan-Arab Distributor Mad Solutions Boards Tunisian Auteur Ala Eddine Slim’s Locarno-Bound Mystery ‘Agora’ (EXCLUSIVE)


Arab distributor Mad World has picked up Tunisian Auteur Ala Eddine Slim's Locarno-bound mystery 'Agora'

The somewhat supernatural film’s events unfold as if they were taking place in the dreams of two animals – a blue dog and a black crow – as the director has put it in an interview with Variety. Slim’s two previous works, both featuring minimal dialogue and atmospheric images, garnered significant critical acclaim: “The Last of Us” (2016) won the Lion of the Future Prize at Venice. The “Agora” cast comprises Neji Kanaweti (“Who Do I Belong To”); Bilel Slatnia (“Dachra”); Majd Mastoura (“Hedi”) and emerging Tunisian talent Sonia Zarg Ayouna.
