Stambeli Awakening

Описание: A short film and documentary reflecting my Master's degree fieldwork and research on the Tunisian popular music genre Stambeli conducted during the summer of 2016.

This film captures stories, experiences, perceptions, and practices of Stambeli in Post-Revolution Tunisia. It unearths voices which have not previously been heard on the subject.

A special thanks goes to Dean Herrett for editing and arranging the film, I would not have been able to present such a audio-visual glimpse of my research without his knowledge, talent, and assistance. Although the footage was made with very modest means of production, Dean did not hesitate to turn it into an engaging and stimulating product.

Also, a special thanks goes to all my informants who showed me nothing but hospitality, kindness and accommodated me, but most importantly were willing to share their stories and music.
Last but not least, a special thanks goes to my thesis committee members at the Department of Popular Culture in Bowling Green State University, Dr. Jeremy Wallach, Dr. Esther Clinton, and Dr. Montana Miller for their continued support throughout my academic journey.
My gratitude goes to my beloved partner Anthony Radoiu for his unconditional love and support.
