Nouakchott, Mauritania - The new Mauritanian movie "My Friend Who Disappeared", winner of the 2009 Best Picture Award at SENAF last month, is prompting a contentious national debate. Critics accuse the Maison des Cineastes (House of Filmmakers) of apostasy and interpret the film as an insult to religious education and to Muslims, while fans and film experts see it as a way to understand the root causes of terrorism. Festival organiser and acclaimed director Mohamed Ould Idoumou oversaw production of the controversial film.

Nouakchott, Mauritania - The 4th National Film Week, which runs through Thursday (October 29th) in Nouakchott boasts 25 high-profile participants from 14 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas are taking part in the screening of 59 films, including 33 from Mauritania. The annual event is organised by the Maison des Cineastes (House of Film-makers), is generally known as SENAF.

This man, his name gone from my memory like so many others, is American of Polish origin I met in Mauritania. He converted to Islam and was very enthusiastic about his new faith.

ISLAM IN MAURITANIA:
Virtually all Mauritanians are Sunni Muslims. They adhere to the Maliki madhab, one of the four Sunni schools of law. Since independence in 1960, Mauritania has been an Islamic republic. The Constitutional Charter of 1985 declares Islam the state religion and sharia the law of the land.
