Kiff Tebbi
Mario Camerini / IT, 1928 / 97 min.
This Italian silent film follows Ismaïl, the son of a kalif, who returns from a stay in Europe full of admiration for modern technology and western culture. But his enthusiasm meets with scepticism from his family. With live music from Marmoucha Orchestra.

When the Turks plunder the countryside for forage for their troops, Mné – an Arab girl from a nomadic tribe who Ismaïl is in love with – flees through the desert to find him. This is the start of a series of adventures that will culminate in Ismaïl being hauled up before a Turkish military court.
