We have added a new set of pictures from Cairo Time.
Cairo Time is a love letter to a city intertwined with a love story about a woman. It began when Syrian-Canadian writer/director Ruba Nadda first visited Cairo with her family many years ago.
Returning a decade ago with one of her sisters, (and no longer under the protective eye of her father) they had memorable adventures. “The city was beautiful and the people were beautiful,” Nadda recalled. Having lived in Damascus, and subsequently traveled the world, Nadda never forgot the grandeur and the chaos of this ancient city that was originally settled in Paleolithic times.
Sitting at the border of what was once Upper and Lower Egypt, the area that was to become the metropolis of Cairo has played host to the Greeks, Romans, Crusaders, the Ottomans, Napoleon, and the British and is now one of the most densely populated cities in the world. “I remember the city being alive. It’s gritty and historical and seething with humanity and I just had to capture it on screen.” Truly, a journey through Cairo is a journey through time and it awakens your soul.
