About a Girl

This short film shows a day in the life of a contemporary Egyptian woman. As she goes about her day and interacts with various people; mother, partner, co-workers, strangers, the film cuts to how she is perceived by others, demonstrating the variety of challenging stereotypes that women face. The concept is simple, and in a longer film would become repetitive and heavy-handed, but is the exact kind of idea that short films are made for. The production values, cinematography and performances are all high quality, making the film even more impressive. This is a great little film that suggests a talented filmmaker in the making. Well worth checking out.
