As part of the 32nd edition of the JCC, two independent selection committees met to view Tunisian films that have applied in several sections of the official competition. These committees have chosen the Tunisian films that will be represented in the official competitions of the 32nd edition of the JCC.
Each selection committee is composed of four members made up of academics and critics.
The first committee watched the feature and short fiction films.
The second committee/jury was responsible for viewing the feature and short documentaries.
