The films:<\/p>\n
Behind the Sun<\/strong>: dir Bentley Brown (2023, 17 min)<\/p>\n Through metaphor, biography and stunning NASA footage, Canadaina filmmaker Bentley Brown presents us with a very personal filmic essay that explores a failed relationship and sweeping societal changes in the city of Jeddah.<\/p>\n Cairo, As Told By Chahine<\/strong>: dir Youssef Chahine (Egypt, 23 min \u2013 still above)<\/p>\n A concise masterpiece by the noted Egyptian filmmaker Youssef Chahine that utilises his characteristic sense of artistic digression to transform this portrait of a city into a self-portrait of a filmmaker. The film was banned in Egypt for its realistic portrayal of Cairo.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
