The short film ‘Mémoire d’encre’, conceived by Salem Trabelsi, features the former La Presse de Tunisie printing works to tell the story of the daily over 90 years. Directed by Mondher Khalil Mostapha with Moez Guediri, the eight-minute film accompanies the newspaper’s anniversary, according to La Presse de Tunisie.

‘Mémoire d’encre’, an eight-minute short film conceived by Salem Trabelsi, traces the history of La Presse de Tunisie on the occasion of the daily's 90th anniversary. The film stars actor and director Moez Guediri and was directed by Mondher Khalil Mostapha, according to La Presse de Tunisie.

Filming took place in the newspaper's former printing works, where the characters move through different periods and bring together Tunisia's political and social transformations with individual stories. The film thus links the history of the daily with that of the country as told through its pages, according to La Presse de Tunisie.
