DESCRIPTION:SFFS Screen Presents: THE WEDDING SONG\nShowing October 9-15\nSundance 
 Kabuki Cinemas\n(1881 Post st and Fillmore st)\n\n1942 Tunis: Against the 
 Allied bombs and the goosesteps of the Nazi occupiers, two teenage 
 girlfriends—one Muslim, the other Jewish—cling to the bond they’ve 
 shared since childhood. Between these two, there are no secrets. In her 
 bold second feature, Karin Albou returns to the themes of her first, La 
 Petite Jerusalem: mapping the intersection of Jewish and Arab cultures and 
 exploring female sexuality. Nour (Olympe Borval) is engaged to handsome 
 Khaled, a physical attraction that Myriam (Lizzie Brocheré) takes 
 vicarious pleasure in abetting. Myriam, for her part, has opportunity Nour 
 lacks, namely an education, until the outspoken girl gets herself expelled 
 from school. Outside the female quarters of home and hammam, the world 
 shared by Jews and Arabs is being split by German promises of 
 liberation—they’ll rid Tunis of the French and the Jews. Myriam and her 
 mother Tita (played by director Albou) are no longer safe, and Tita 
 attempts to marry her reluctant daughter to a wealthy doctor to save them 
 both. How thoroughly Jewish and Arab female worlds are merged is evident in 
 the elaborate, intimate preparation of the bride for her wedding night, 
 “Oriental style”; how thoroughly politics have infused the personal is 
 evidenced by what happens after the wedding. Marriage, like friendship, 
 becomes a test of ethics and courage. —Judy Bloch, SFJFF \n\n(100 min, in 
 French and Arabic with English subtitles)  \n\nTickets $8-$14 \n
