Ikhtifa'at Soad Hosni ath-Thalathah

A rapturous elegy to a rich era of film production in Egypt, through one of its most revered actress: Soad Hosni, who from the 1960 into the 90s, embodied the modern Arab woman in her complexity and paradoxes. Pieced exclusively from VHS footage of films, it’s constructed as a tragedy in three acts where the actress tells her dreamed life story.
