<em class="film-other">*** We regret to inform you that the film Oghneyet Touha Al Hazina will not be screened as part of the Forum Expanded programme. Cimatheque – Alternative Film Center, along with the family of the director, have decided to withdraw it from the festival. ***</em><br /> This early film by Atteyat Al Abnoudy paints a dreamlike portrait of artists that have influenced how we see the streets of Cairo. The unobtrusive camera captures fire eaters, acrobats, musicians, child contortionists and other performers, while the story of this community is told by the haunting voice of the poet Abdel Rahman Al Abnoudy.<br /> We are showing the film in a digital restoration that was carried out in 2025 under the auspices of the Cimatheque – Alternative Film Center in Cairo.
