Cairo Documentary Festival II

In addition to the documentaries presented at the AUC Tahrir Campus that were the object of the previous "Cairo Documentary Festival" post, I received confermation that the screenings that will take place at 1:00 PM in the New Cairo Campus (P007) are also open to the public and not only for the AUC community as I assumed.

The program is the following:
Sunday March 20: Beit Sha'ar - Nomads Home (2010, 61m, Egypt) Iman Kamel
An Egyptian filmmaker encounters a Bedouin social entrepreneur in the Sinai Peninsula.
Monday March 21: Iran: Voices of the Unheard (2009, 68m, Iran) D. Geramifard
Rural and urban Iranians struggle against an oppressive regime after the 2009 election.
Tuesday March 22: Sifinja – The Iron Bride (2009, 70m, Sudan) Valerie Haensch
Modifications of the English Bedford-Lorry makes it as comfortable as 'Sifinja' slippers.
Wednesday March 23: Next Year in Bombay (2010, 55m, India) Jonas Pariente and Mathias Mangin
2000 years of Jewish history in India is nearing its demise as the community emigrates.
Thursday March 24: Degrees of Incarceration (2010, 59m, Palestine) Amahl Bishara and Nidal Al-Azraq
Palestinians strive to support each other in the enduring shadow of political prison.
