Following the vile attack perpetrated on Monday October 29, 2018 in the heart of Tunis, Néjib Ayed and the Organizing Committee of the Carthage Film Festival condemn with the greatest virulence the terrorist and cowardly act that targeted Tunis, a few days before the opening of the festival.
Just like Tunisia, the JCC as a place of freedom and resistance will not bend to the bearers of obscurantist projects and true to our convictions, we will continue to proclaim loud and clear that only culture is an impassable barrier against ignorance and deadly projects.
Terrorism today is a global phenomenon and unfortunately nobody is immune.
But the festival will take place and we will celebrate the values of tolerance, openness and life over nihilism.
