Women who Loved Cinema
is about six strong-willed women whose adventurous streak
changed the face of film industry in early twentieth century
Egypt - a time when the country was, despite the liberal ripples,
still steeped in conservative tradition.
Women who Loved Cinema shows how these women,
different as they were in class and social background, broke
taboos and dismissed conventional wisdom to fulfill their
overpowering passion for filmmaking.
A film that takes us to the past and brings us, seamlessly,
to this day. Aziza ... Fatema ... Behidja ... Amina ...
Assia … Mary... theirs is a story that will remain indelibly
etched in the memory of Egyptian cinema. |
