Mosireen's Tuesday Night Film Nights are back with two new short films:
Bahari
(Egypt, 2012)
Directed by Ahmed Ghoneimy
One night, Amr wanders alone in the streets of Bahari, the marginalized eastern shore of Alexandria. While he collects material for an art project he is allured to film a playful group of children. Two locals are provoked by Amr’s actions leading to an encounter that develops elusive fears and desires.
Bahari was produced during a workshop with Director / Video Artist Sherif El-Azma. The film premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam and was awarded the Hamburg Short Film Award at the International Short Film Festival Hamburg.
