EXTERIOR NIGHT / AHMAD ABDALLA
Moe, an aspiring director, is in the midst of an existential crisis. His film is under-financed, his friends are being arrested, and his dream projects are proving to be impossible to pull off. A wild overnight taxi ride through Cairo (reminiscent of the scene in Martin Scorsese’s After Hours) with the plainspoken prostitute Toutou and driver Mostafa, opens his eyes to a different side of the city and gives him a new perspective. This atmospheric, wry comedy with terrific performances packs a punch.
Director: Ahmad Abdalla
Jacob Burns Film Center Screening: Saturday, September 21 - 7:35PM
BAM Screening: Wednesday, October 2 - 7PM
RT: 95 mins
Burns Center screening will be followed by a Q&A with Director in attendance
