Dancers (Mirayat el-Masrah), by Celame Barge. Egypt/France, 2007, 52 min, BetaSP, World Premiere
Souad left home when she was ten, Leila raises her five children by herself, Hanane impersonates Fifi Abdou in front of her TV, Mona would like to become a “good girl”… From all over Egypt, these girls, wives and mothers dance for a living. At the hairdresser, at home, at weddings, in nightclubs, on- and offstage, the film follows them and tries, through their words, laughter and scars, to show the struggle under the makeup, behind the dance.

Democracy 76: State of Emergency, by Wael Omar. Egypt, 2006, 10 min, MiniDV
