Kaouther Ben Hania looks set to return to Venice a year after her docudrama The Voice of Hind Rajab won the Grand Jury Prize on the way to an Oscar nomination.
Described as an epic love story set in Tunsia in the 1940s and 1990s, “Nimesis” was ready to shoot in 2024, before Hind Rajab.
But Ben Hania put the project on hold to focus on the more politically urgent story of the Palestinian girl killed, along with her family, by Israeli forces in Gaza.
