Program supported and endorsed by the Embassy of Egypt, Jakarta and The Ministry of Culture Arab Republic of Egypt.
Considered to be one of the most important international film directors, Chahine is also one of the most eclectic, having directed everything from musicals to melodramas, autobiography to comedy, and neo-realist to political films. His movies pushed the traditional boundaries of Arab cinema. Alexandria Why?, his most autobiographical film, innovated the use of first-person narrative, while other films, such as Cairo Station,explored issues of sexuality and madness for the first time. His more political films, such as The Return of the Prodigal Son (an adaptation of André Gide’s novel), explored the social politics of the Arab-Israel War, while films such as Once upon a Time on the Nile concentrated a strong critical eye on the construction of the Aswan High Dam. His work has been included in international projects featuring famous directors, such as the Lumière Brother’s anniversary compilation of shorts, as well as shorts about 11 September 2001. In 1997, he won the prestigious Cannes Film Festival’s highest honor, the Palme d’Or, for his film Destiny.
