| The Global Lens film series is an annual, curated program of narrative feature films from Africa, Asia, Central & Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. Each film in the series is selected for its authentic voice, strong cinematics and unique cultural perspective, opening a window to the diverse world in which we live. Now in its tenth year, the series continues to be a platform for exceptional storytelling. To date, more than ninety-five films from over thirty-five nations make up the award-winning and critically acclaimed Global Lens collection.
“CAIRO 678″ is about three Cairene women from different backgrounds join together in uneasy solidarity to combat the sexual harassment that has impacted each of their lives. This deftly braided narrative tells a gripping, timely social tale through its patchwork of interconnected lives and deeds. Egypt, 2010, Arabic, with subtitles in English, 100 min Dir: Mohamed Diab.
This series is made possible through Brooklyn Public Library’s Fund for the Humanities, established through the generous support of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Additional funding was provided by The Hearst Foundation, Inc.; the Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation; The Starr Foundation; the Leon and Muriel Gilbert Charitable Trust; the Henry and Lucy Moses Fund, Inc., and a gift in memory of Samuel and Pauline Wine. |
