Tunisian director Fares Naanaa’s A Full Moon Night, winner of the top Dubai Film Connection (Dfc) prize last year, will start shooting in February 2014.
“We’re still missing the money for post-production but we’re going to shoot it, make a rough cut of the film and try to finalise finance off that,” said Tunis-based producer Habib Attia of Cinetelefilms.
Popular Tunisian actor and comedian Lotfi Abdelli has signed to play the husband in the film about a couple whose marriage disintegrates after the death of their daughter. The role of the wife has yet to be cast.
The film will shoot in Tunis and the oasis city of Tozeur in south-west Tunisia. A Full Moon Night picked up $25,000 in award money at Dfc last year, as one of the three top Dfc prizewinners alongside Me, Myself And Murdoch and Batata. The film is budgeted at $800,000.

The Quebec film industry here in Canada is so alarmingly good at what is does it is a shame that the rest of our country remains largely unawares of it. Director Kim Nguyen's is following up his previous feature Truffe, it was the opening film of Fantasia 2008 and got him best director nod at Fantastic Fest 2009, with the drama La Cité.
North Africa, the Aures Mountains, 1895. Max Orswell, doctor of war, returned from the front in a city he no longer recognizes. The army has invaded the colonial city, the streets are deserted, the ancestral community hérénite is subject to systematic checks of soldiers. One day, without warning, things switch. Max has to face the terrible facts: the horror is back, she followed him home.
La Cité opens in Quebec on April 9th. When we know of other dates in Canada we'll let you know. Hint, hint.
