MICROPHONE

A Film by Ahmad Abdalla

gd-jpeg v1.0 (using IJG JPEG v62), quality = 100 Upon returning to his native Alexandria after a stint in the US, Khaled discovers that time has altered and severed his prior relationships, namely with his former flame, Hadeer. Despondent, Khaled wanders the city and quickly stumbles into a new world: the underground arts scene. As he becomes increasingly enchanted with this counterculture, Khaled crosses paths with street hip-hoppers, rooftop rockers, graffiti artists and documentary filmmakers.

Microphone is an homage to a lost city, and an adrenaline-fuelled, paean to Egypt's irrepressible and uncertain future.

The film will be followed by a Q&A with the film's star and producer, Khaled Abol Naga.

This screening forms part of the national Arab Fringe! touring programme.
