Dear friends,
Due to unforeseen circonstances, I have been unable to send you this special e-mail before today. I hope you will forgive me.
However, I hope you have received the information through other channels.
Tomorrow, we will organise a special event around a special film.
First of all, you must know that you won't be able to watch this film in theaters anywhere but at AF Delhi.
In these traumatic period of bloodsheds, radicalism, physical and mental oppression, watching this fiction film is a necessity. It shows on a narrative and poetic way the entrance of a group of radical islamists in the quiet and immortal city of Timubktu.
We will share an incredible experience together, that is why a small cocktail will be organised at the end of the screening allowing us to talk and share about this incomparable film.
Please join us tomorrow for the cinematographic experience of the month, even of the year.
Warmest regards,
Jean-Philippe.

ENGLISH SYNOPSIS
In Mali, Islamists occupy the city of Timbuktu and impose sharia law. They
ban music, football, cigarettes, organize forced marriages, persecute women
and improvise trials who give absurd and unfair sentences. Despite the
ferocity of their repression, the population resists with courage, often in the
name of another vision of Islam.
Kidane is a cattle herder living in the desert with his wife and daughter.
Spared at first, his family will soon undergo the new Islamic laws, when a
conflict starts with another inhabitant.
FRENCH SYNOPSIS
Au Mali, des islamistes investissent la ville de Tombouctou et y imposent la
charia. Ils bannissent la musique, le football, les cigarettes, procèdent à des
mariages forcés, persécutent les femmes et improvisent des tribunaux qui
rendent des sentences injustes et absurdes. Malgré la férocité de leur
répression, la population résiste avec courage, souvent au nom d'une autre
conception de l'islam.
Kidane est un éleveur touareg vivant dans le désert avec sa femme et sa fille.
D'abord épargnée, sa famille va bientôt subir les nouvelles lois islamiques, à
l'occasion d'un conflit avec un autre habitant.
