This stamp celebrates the National Year of Tunisian Cinema (2017) and the influence of the Carthage Cinematographic Days (JCC). The illustration depicts Avenue Habib Bourguiba in Tunis, the beating heart of cultural life, animated by crowds of festival-goers and topped with the JCC logo. The symbolic presence of cinema seats in the foreground carries a message of democratization of art, affirming that cinema is a mirror of Tunisian society and an essential engine of its intellectual vitality and its international openness.
