A three-day festival marking the anniversary of the Tunisian Revolution will be held in California from 10-12 January. The festival will highlight artistic endeavours by young Tunisian filmmakers and musicians. Short film screenings, roundtable discussions and musical performances will be held throughout the three-day event. On 14 January 2011, Tunisian former President Zein El-Abidine Ben Ali fled the country after weeks of unrest to mark the first revolution in the Arab Spring.
