    Indie Memphis is proud to partner with the Memphis in May International Festival for the 4th year in a row to celebrate the cinema of their honored country -- this year presenting a special screening of Tunisian native Zran Mohamed's award-winning documentary, "Being Here," at the Brooks Museum of Art. Winner of the Best New Middle Eastern Documentary Director award at the 2009 Middle East International Film Festival in Abu Dhabi, "Being Here" portrays the perception between tradition and modernity through a collection of portraits of small-town inhabitants in southern Tunisia. Revolving a Jewish storekeeper named Simon, the inhabitants of a small town in the southern Tunisia meet to talk with each other and speak about themselves, their town and the world at large.
