Write a short summary of what happens in the film.
The film translates what life would be like if it were to imitate art; if only life could be as beautiful. The film is an attempt to bring some of the world’s master pieces to life; a life with homes, kitchens, gardens, landscapes, communities; a life one could find in Palm Hills’ newest project, Badya.
Cultural/Context information for the jury
The truth is Downtown Cairo was once a bustling cultural hub. A downtown that invited writers and intellects into its cafes and bars for long nights of debate and endless conversations. It was a downtown that invited musicians, artists, performers from all over Egypt to come flaunt their talents, shine in the public eye and find fame. Cinemas, theaters, shows, spectacles, and fashion all met in Downtown Cairo. Over the years, decades in fact, our downtown got busier, dirtier, poorer and duller, losing its glamor, its youth. Instead of actresses our cafes now hosted retired, old men. Since the 60s maybe, Egypt’s creative hub became creative-less and rather void of any real inspiration. Since then, Egyptians have longed for a replacement, nostalgically reminiscing of the lively cafes, bars and theaters that were once packed with LIFE!
Tell the jury anything relevant about the cinematography.
-We wanted the cinematography to always match, but not just match, the lighting style of the artist.
At the end, each frame should look like a finished painting and a work of art in and of itself. For example,
in the opening shot of David Hockney's Bigger Splash, we recreated the strong frontal California hard sunlight,
for Hoppers painting Automat, we opted for the top soft light of the cafe, theatrically lighting the figure in a green coat.
