Halfaouine: Boy of the Terraces
Férid Boughedir · 1990
Boughedir maps a Tunis medina as a sensory geography where male and female worlds, sacred and profane, are separated by a single terrace wall. Like Brahem's compositions, the film treats architectural intimacy as a form of cultural cartography, and its observational tenderness toward neighborhood life mirrors the oud's patient, contemplative phrasing.
