"18 Days" is a series of ten short films that tell the varied stories of the recent Egyptian uprising that led to the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak. The narratives cover different perspectives and are contained within an original presentation that combines real-life footage, digital camera work and scripted sequences. A notable success of the project is the manner in which the directors have captured a sense of the what such events meant to the Egyptian people on the ground.

Curated by Ziad Khatlan.  Ziad Khatlan is a film critic, author and film festival jurist. He was a jury member for the Gulf Film Festival (2009); Chief Programmer for the Dubai International Film Festival (2005); and a Senior Editor of Al-Quds Online (2008–2010).
