Cairo, As Told By Chahine (Youssef Chahine, 1991)
Jameel’s Summer Cinema, in collaboration with The Culturist Film Club presents a lively season of films, inviting audiences to cool down, slow down, and gather indoors for four curated screening nights at Jameel Arts Centre.
Taking place over the summer months, the programme delves into stories about cities, archives, and the ways we live and remember together, plus a special nod to the visionary world of David Lynch.
Each screening will include informal talks with filmmakers, artists, and special guests as we unpack the themes together. Audiences are encouraged to engage in collective viewing, stay for the discussion, and enjoy food and refreshments available throughout the evening.
