New Documentary on Egyptian Art After the Uprisings

I’m hearing a lot of buzz about a forthcoming documentary film The Noise of Cairo. It’s about changes in the Cairo art scene after the 2011 Egyptian revolution.

Produced by scenesfrom, which calls it a “cinematic kaleidoscope,” it features interviews with a dozen artists from Ramy Essam to Sondos Shabayek to Ali Abdel Mohsen, and many others I’ve not heard of), asking them to explore the role played by creatives during the revolution.

Unfortunately, there’s not much more information available. I’ll update this page as I learn more.
