Abstract
La mayor libertad de expresión que existe en Túnez tras los altercados de 2011 ha dado lugar a una gran agitación cultural que se ha sentido de lleno en el cine realizado por mujeres. Los ecos vienen de lejos y habría que remontarse a la primera generación de directoras tunecinas como Selma Baccar, Néjia Ben Mabrouk, Kalthoum Bornaz o Moufida Tatli, quienes empezaron a rodar en los años setenta películas muy críticas sobre las desigualdades de género, la dominación masculina y el patriarcado; temas que han sido recogidos y ampliados por una nueva generación de directoras surgidas en los albores de la Revolución del Jazmín, mujeres que sin olvidar los asuntos que intrigaban a sus predecesoras, dialogan con aspectos aún tabúes en las sociedades arabo-musulmanas como el cuerpo, la sexualidad/es y la religión.
En un momento en el que la islamofobia crece en occidente, poner de relieve la manera en la que las directoras de cine lucharon y luchan a través de sus obras por una sociedad más justa e igualitaria es de gran importancia, no sólo para comprender su sociedad, sino también para reflexionar sobre la nuestra.
The greater freedom of expression that exists in Tunisia after the Revolution of 2011 has given rise to a great cultural upheaval that has been felt fully felt in women’s cinema. The echoes come from far away and we should go back to the first generation of Tunisian women directors such as Selma Baccar, Néjia Ben Mabrouk, Kalthoum Bornaz or Moufida Tatli, who started shooting very critical films in the 1970s about gender inequalities, male domination and patriarchy; These themes have been picked up and expanded by a new generation of female directors who emerged at the dawn of the Arab Revolution or Jasmine Revolution, women who, without forgetting the issues that intrigued their predecessors, they are in dialogue with aspects that are still taboo in Arab-Muslim societies, such as the body, sexuality and religion. Nowadays Islamophobia is growing in the West and highlighting the way women filmmakers in Tunisia fought and fight through their works for a more egalitarian society is of great importance, not only to understand their culture, but also to understand our culture in a better way.
