Papa Hedi/52min
Filmmaker Claire Belhassine was in her late 20s when she discovered that her grandfather was the Frank Sinatra of the Arab World, Hedi Jouini. From the theme song of a popular Tunisian soap opera to pop singers' cover songs, including international superstar Shakira, Jouini's music still resonates twenty years after his death. Behind the usual story of siblings fighting over their inheritance lies the powerful dynamic of men's and women's roles in 1930's Tunis and the sad but often funny story of Papa Hedi's divided family - separated across continents, competing to define their father's legacy. North America Premiere.
