In this interview published by the cultural journal Souffle inédit 

(ISSN 2739-879X), Tunisian filmmaker Mohamed Jamel Nefzi reflects 

on a career that spans historical documentary, music video 

and philosophical fiction.

 

He discusses the making of his documentary "130 Years of Alaouites" 

(2019), selected for the Carthage Film Festival (JCC), his work 

as a trainer within the European Erasmus+ TOURITAGE programme, 

and his feature fiction project in development, 

"Wala - The Pilot's Vow", a philosophical drama 

written in classical Arabic.

 

The interview explores his vision of cinema as a space 

of living memory - navigating between historical truth 

and emotional truth, between collective heritage 

and personal experience.
