Cairo Compressed – Production workshop for small file filmmaking

Throughout three sessions held in parallel with the 11th Cairo Video Festival, the Cairo Compressed workshop introduced film and video makers to the more restricted medium of small files, which allows for pushing the boundaries of artistic expression and exploring pressing issues in abstraction.

The workshop produced nine works, totaling 23 minutes, which will be screened at Zawya Cinema next Sunday from 7:00 to 9:00 PM. The screening will be followed by a discussion with the participants, organized by Mena El Shazly.
