Cinelogue Picks
program description
Cinelogue Picks brings together a curated mix of films that extend the conversations within Cinelogue’s programs.
Many of these films trace how colonial legacies persist through state violence, class hierarchies, and gendered exclusions, while others gesture toward different forms of solidarity and imagination.
In addition to these curatorial choices, certain titles appear here at the invitation of filmmakers who wished to share their work through Cinelogue.

In 1983, filmmaker Férid Boughedir took the initiative to look back on the past twenty years of African cinema through interviews with African filmmakers and actors, and excerpts from 18 films. A homage to the history of “postcolonial” African cinema.

As Aïcha (Rabia Ben Abdallah) and her two daughters return to the island of Djerba from Tunis, past and present start to juxtapose, and we observe how the family is at the core of the patriarchal systems. An essential feminist critique.
