In addition to these world premiere films, film projects that began their career at Carthage Pro, the professional platform of the JCC, were invited to Cannes this year in various workshops and development platforms.

CFF from October 26 to November 2nd

CFF from October 26 to November 2nd (instead of November 2nd to 9th) Why?

The date of the Tunisian presidential elections, recently announced, are too close to the JCC rendez-vous and can disturb the cinema celebration.
We have therefore moved our dates forward by one week to avoid any confusion.
Save the new dates: from October 26 to November 2nd 2019

The Carthage Film Festival JCC announces that its press conference for the 2019 session, scheduled at the Cannes Film Festival on May 21st, is postponed to May 22, 2019 at 11am in the Tunisian Cinema Pavilion, 105 Riviera, following the programming of Tunisian film “Tlamess” by Ala Eddine Slim on May 21 at 11:45 am.
