Hinde Boujemaa (ar|هند بوجمعة|Hind Būjumʻah) is a half-Tunisian, half-Belgian film director.[1]
Boujemaa did a degree in marketing, worked in makeup and special effects, and brought up children before starting her career in filmmaking. In 2006 she studied scriptwriting in a French correspondence course school, and in 2009 wrote a feature film, Under Paradise, which won the Sud Ecriture prize at the Carthage Film Festival.[1] She has said that the Tunisian Revolution was responsible for her own "personal revolution", giving her the inspiration to pursue filmmaking for herself.[2]
Boujemaa's documentary It Was Better Tomorrow follows the life of a young woman in Tunis trying to care for her children after the Tunisian Revolution.[3] Her 2019 feature film Noura's Dream portrays a woman (played by Hend Sabri) who is caught between her husband and her lover.[2] The film premiered at Toronto International Film Festival.[4]
