“The Last of Us” by Ala Eddine Slim (Tunisia, 2016, 94 min.) is Jawher Soudani’s first experience as an actor. The film has earned important awards like the one for Best First Film (Mostra di Venezia, 2016), Best First Feature Film (Carthage Film Festival in Tunisia, 2016) and Best Arab Film (FCAT - African Film Festival of Tarifa, 2017).

Taking advantage of a trip to Madrid, Jawher Soudani (Vajo) is also participating in the Brief Graphic Design Festival on Saturday, October 28 at the Centro Cultural Conde Duque, where he will be giving a talk on his practice as an artist and graphic designer.
