My Name Is Not Ali 2011
Travelling across Germany, France and Tunisia, director Viola Shafik reconstructs the little‑known life of El Hedi Ben Salem through interviews with friends, family and archival material. Interviewees, with openness and slight naivety, explain how the Fassbinder group turned “Ali” into an oriental projection, while the real man was ignored to cast him as a foreign “other.” The film offers a clear look at an overlooked chapter of German‑Munich cinema history.
