AZEEMA

Introducing “Tip-Toe” a short film by @ayyanabdi and @dinasaaurrr following the young ballerinas of Na Ponta dos Pés, an art school founded by Tuany Nascimento in Rio de Janeiro. What began as one woman teaching ballet on a football pitch has grown into a community built space for art, language and self expression. A reminder that real change starts within - when we choose to invest in one another and reimagine what is possible.

Memories of a Wedding - By @taqwabintali 🎥 “In Zarzis, wedding ceremonies are not just about the union of two people; they are about the continuity of traditions, the honoring of ancestors, and the strengthening of familial bonds. I wanted to explore how these traditions anchor us, how they keep us connected to our origins, and how they continue to evolve without losing their essence.” Taqwa Now available to watch on @nowness - link in our bio 🔗 Director @taqwabintali ⁠ Creative director @taqwabintali ⁠ DOP @alia.baraket ⁠ @3bsi.dhia Executive Producers @oraneblaiseathuil @gerardminkov ⁠ Documentary research @sinda.drn ⁠ Casting @rimmhk ⁠ Edit @alex.petropavlov @martinpasletime ⁠ Colorgrade @clemlefouest ⁠ Graphics @kan_ayumi ⁠

Our thoughts are with our siblings in Lebanon and Palestine who continue to bear the cost of embodying liberation and resistance to the occupation. The occupation’s illegal, violent, indiscriminate attacks on Lebanese civilians are increasing daily and attacks have widened across South Lebanon with over 800 airstrikes targeting, killing and displacing thousands of people in one day. End the occupation. Free Palestine, Free Lebanon 🇱🇧 Images: ‘The Missing of Lebanon’ by @daliakhamissy 2010

‘Guellala, South Tunisia’ By French Tunisian photographer and film maker @bilalelkadhi Much of his work is inspired by deeply personal stories that lay the foundations for his films and projects. Tunisia is a central subject and his films comment on the hardships faced by its people, especially experienced by those who see no choice but to attempt to flee its shores.
