Tunisia has picked Kaouther Ben Hania’s Four Daughters, which debuted in competition at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, as its entry for the Best International Feature Film category at the 2024 Oscars.
Four Daughters was one of two documentaries this year to earn a coveted spot in the main competition at Cannes. The film centers on Olfa Hamrouni and her children – the titular four daughters.
The eldest two disappeared from Tunisia as teenagers, with evidence pointing to them being swept up into ISIS. To fill in their absence, Ben Hania hired professional actresses to play the missing daughters, creating a unique hybrid of fiction and documentary to explore the family’s lasting trauma.
The Party Film Sales is handling distribution efforts on the pic, which shared the L’Oeil d’or (Golden Eye) prize for the best documentary in Cannes with The Mother of All Lies (La Mère de tous les mensonges) by Moroccan filmmaker Asmae El Moudir.
