Discussion For Documentary “Cairo Drive” At Zawya Next Thursday

The downtown Cairo theater “Zawya” will be screening Sherief Elkatsha's documentary film “Toroq Alqahira” ( Cairo Drive). An open discussion about the film will take place at the hall, after the screening.

In the film, Sherief Elkatsha rides through the congested streets alongside a diverse cast of characters — from taxi drivers to ambulances, from traffic cops to private citizens,— capturing the unspoken codes of conduct, frustrations, humor, fatalism, and life-or-death decisions of driving in a city where the only rule is: there are no rules.

Cairo Drive is Elkatsha's third documentary film, and was screened at the seventh Abu Dhabi Film Festival in October of 2013.
