Jews of Egypt - Cinema Release

I have no idea if it's going to be any good or not, but if you're in Egypt you should go and see Jews of Egypt tonight or tomorrow.

It's an independent film that has fought against both the Ministry of the Interior and the monopolists of the domestic film industry to get a slot in the cinemas. It is very very rare for an independent film to get on a cinema screen in Egypt - for reasons that have been discussed in old old posts - so it would be good if this one makes a little cash.



It's showing at the Renaissance Nile City and Sun City in Cairo and San Stefano in Alexandria.

I know we are supposed to be boycotting Renaissance Nile City but I think, in this case, the positive impact of each ticket bought for this film will be more felt than the negative impact of bringing business to Nile City. Just don't buy any snacks there.

This is why we're (mostly) boycotting Nile City
