Tawfik Alzaidi's 'Norah' marks Saudi Arabia's arrival at Cannes Film Festival

Depicting a young woman yearning for freedom and suffocated by village life, "Norah" is a striking account of provincial life in the Saudi Arabia of the 1990s. The film was shown at this year's Cannes Film Festival. Director and writer Tawfik Alzaidi joins us on arts24 to discuss his inspirations for the story, the fledging film industry in his home country and how, despite growing up without access to movie theatres, he was determined to become a filmmaker.
