RED PATH
Dir Lotfi Achour | Tunisia, France | 2024 | 97 mins | Rating TBC | Arabic
In the shadow of Tunisia’s Mghila Mountains, 13-year-old Achraf endures a harrowing ordeal when jihadists attack him and his cousin, Nizar. Forced to carry Nizar’s severed head back to their village as a gruesome warning, Achraf embarks on a journey that blurs the lines between trauma and resilience. Based on true events, Lotfi Achour’s Red Path is a haunting exploration of innocence lost amidst terror and offers a poignant reflection on the enduring impact of violence and the strength found in confronting it.
Premiered at Locarno’s Cineasti del Presente, the film has garnered accolades including the Golden Tanit at Carthage, the Audience Award at Vancouver, the Golden Yusr for Best Feature Film and the Best Director Award at the Red Sea International Film Festival, and the Best Director and Audience Awards at the Malmö Arab Film Festival.
Starring Ali Helali, Yassine Samouni

REVIEWS
“The casting is strong, particularly amongst the youngsters, with Helali remarkably adept at letting Achraf’s warring emotions ripple below the surface. This raw drama paints a vivid picture.” Amber Wilkinson, Screen International
“A powerful, unsparing film which paints an involving picture of individual trauma.” ★★★★ Eddie Harrison, The List
