13.09.22 | With Pyramids (D 1990, Renate Sami)

GER 1990, D: Renate Sami, Doc, 93′, OV with German subtitles, 16mm 

With WITH PYRAMIDS, Renate Sami has shot a travelogue of a far away country that is composed of diverse voices, sounds, faces and interiors. In this, rough edges remain, nothing is harmoniously rounded. By car and together with Sami, we explore Egyptian desert and city landscapes shot on 8mm and 16mm, while the soundtrack presents different texts to us. These deal with legendary city foundings for instance, but also give an insight into stories of Egyptian women reporting on their painful experiences of marriage and generally on being a woman in a patriarchal society.
