? OUT AND ABOUT-
(all times CLT)
One for Egyptian film aficionados: The Netherlands-Flemish Institute in Zamalek is screening a documentary about the iconic Studio Masr, which was offered for privatization in 2000. Mona Assaad’s 2018 film Fee Studio Masr (Into Studio Masr) sees a group of young film buffs tackle the studio's modernization. The film pays tribute to Egyptian cinema, taking us on a “journey in time and space, fiction and history, friendships, aspirations, and dreams.” The Arabic-language film will be shown with English subtitles. Doors open at 6:30pm and close at 7pm (or earlier if the room has reached full capacity).
For post-match laughs, head to Room Art Space New Cairo tonight for a comedy night “about men’s life” featuring comedians Alaa Yasseen, Ahmed Marzouk, Saleh Sayem, and others. The show starts at 9pm.
