Outrage over Feathers film is still making the rounds

Feathers continues to make the rounds, with the Times and AFP noting Egyptian celebrities walking out of the film’s screening at El Gouna Film Festival last week to protest the film’s depiction of poverty in Egypt.

Also making headlines: Everything from classroom and teacher shortages (Haaretz) to prison writings of detained and imprisoned activists (France24) by way of a story that somehow manages to combine stolen antiquities and Kim Kardashian West (The Cut).

ALSO: A preserved mummy from the Old Kingdom suggests mummification techniques date 1k years earlier than we thought, which might require a revision of “all books about mummification and the history of the Old Kingdom.” (The Guardian)
