FILM

The Dent
Basim Magdy, 2014, EG, HD, 19'

Dinosaur eggs, elephants and futuristic architecture from real cities are the elements of Magdy’s imaginative and surreal tale of an unknown city dreaming of being the host of the Olympic Games. Shot throughout Europe and North America, the geographical locations lose their specificities. Subtitles, image and sound manipulations enhance a sense of displacement.
