Doctor Who The Bells of Saint John Prequel and Teaser

3D Mania in La Marsa

Lots of 3D films showing at the local cinema in La Marsa;this evening I saw 'The Hobbit ' in 3D,the only problem it was in French and not the original version but as I'd seen some of it on a DVD the plot was easy to follow and of course it was great to see it up on the big screen! Martin Freeman plays the part of Bilbo very well and Andy Serkis again does a great job with the role of Gollum!



The other films that can be seen are 'The Life of Pi ' ,'Ice Age 4 ' and 'Asterix and Obelix'.

 

And in Carthage at the Cinemart cinema be sure to catch another 3D film  'Oz the Great and Powerful '.

Fragile in Sidi Bou Said!

How fragile you are! How fragile our world is! Your heart is fragile! Fragile images breaking up the world!

Fragility is the theme of the newest exhibition at the Galerie Municipal in Sidi Bou Said.
Fragile Exhibition
Fragility is the latest trend in comtempory art and impacts politics,economics and society at large.
Are fragile countries,fragile economies and fragile governments affecting art?pop

The Fragile event begins in the village of Sidi Bou Said famed for its poets and painters apparently 50% of the population are painters and the other 50% are poets! The event will travels to other Mediterranean countries and will return to Tunisia where the result of the entire process will be seen.

The photographer,Lilia El Golli, has focused on the theme of social fragiltiy via her photographs of the rubbish collectors in Sidi Bou Said who work at night. Her photographs show an insight into the world of a thankless task of clearing away the rubbish in the street.

Another exhibitor has illustrated  the fragile society and the feelings of manipulation and media 'lies' .

Tunisia is in a state of fragility;when the Fragility event returns here from its Mediterranean journey will Tunisia have escaped its fragility and formed a stable government?

Lets wait and see.
Meanwhile try and see the exhibition before it departs on the 6th April!
