Queer Women in Love: The Wedding Song (Inverness)

During the Nazi occupation of Tunis, young friends Nour, who is Muslim, and Myriam, who is Jewish, live in a humble neighbourhood where their communities live in harmony. But the world shared by Jews and Arabs is being split by German plans to rid Tunis of its French and Jewish populations. Myriam’s mother (played by director Karin Albou) attempts to marry her off to a wealthy doctor in order to save the family from Nazi oppression. But Myriam and Nour, who have an ambigous, sensual bond, conspire to scupper the wedding plans.

Screening with short film Fingers by Sandra Alland, featuring a British Sign Language (BSL) poetry performance by Alison Smith about love, longing, and the sexiness of touch.
