Clash (2016)
Directed by Mohamed Diab

Genres Drama, Thriller
Actors Nelly Karim
Égypte, 2013. Le président égyptien Mohamed Morsi, membre des frères musulmans et démocratiquement élu un an auparavant (après la révolution du printemps arabe de 2011), est renversé par l'armée au lendemain d'une manifestation massive contre le pouvoir et les frères musulmans. Le film prend place pendant les contre-manifestations de soutien au président déchu et aux frères musulmans, réprimées par la police. L'action se déroule dans un fourgon de police où sont internés pendant une journée des citoyens de toute tendance politique : des citoyens soutenant la police arrêtés par erreur, et des frères musulmans ou sympathisants. Des affrontements violents se déroulent dans ce huis clos (d'où le titre du film), révélant petit à petit des personnalités moins caricaturales.

Actors Khaled Abol Naga, Menna Shalabi, Yosra El Lozy
When Khaled returns to Alexandria after years of travel he discovers that it is too late to rekindle a relationship with his old love because she is about to immigrate and that his relationship with his aging father is broken beyond repair. Self-absorbed, he roams the city and stumbles over the underground art scene: hip-hop singers who perform on sidewalks, female rock musicians on rooftops, skateboarders cruising all over the city, graffiti artists who confront the city with their shocking murals in the darkness of the night. He is mesmerized by the discovery of this world and his life gradually changes. With his limited resources and connections, he tries to support this movement and draw attention to the diverse facets of his city. Details of his private life and events of this movement overlap. He awaits an inevitable change that he believes will come from the dynamic and unique art scene in Alexandria rather than from Cairo, Egypt's overpopulated capital.

Zelal is an invitation to delve into the world of psychiatry and "madness" in Egypt. It meets the ordinary madmen and women banished to mental institutions by Egyptian society and offers more than just a journey into their world of shadows.
