Who do I belong to (2024)

In northern Tunisia, Aïcha’s maternal love is tested when her eldest son, Mehdi, unexpectedly returns from fighting in Syria.

Using a unique visual language with out-of-focus close-ups and a dreamlike color palette, Joobeur’s mature and poetic debut delves into the generational whiplash and familial trauma caused by war. With impressive performances, the film leaves much for the viewer to decipher.

This screening of Who do I belong to (2024) is apart of the program of Sprouts Film Festival 2025. 

Sprouts Film Festival 2025

In a world marked by glitches, extreme weather, and escalating conflicts, it’s easy to look away. But at Sprouts, we believe cinema can be a platform for peaceful protest. For the fourth year, we’re showcasing a lineup of newly released ecocinema and socially critical debut films. All selected works—both features and shorts—are fiction, as we believe in the power of imagination to inspire positive change and reframe our relationship with the more-than-human world. We are here to make you wonder, inform you, spark resistance, and nurture emerging talent.
