Screening: "East of Noon" by Hala Elkoussy

Mizna’s 19th Twin Cities Arab Film Festival closes with a pair of special screenings and a reception co-presented with the Walker. Join us for drinks and snacks preceding this screening, from 5:15 to 7 pm, in the Main Lobby.

Following her distinctive debut, Cactus Flower (2017), Hala Elkoussy’s second feature, East of Noon, bends and blends genres, resulting in a satirical, contemporary fable, all shot on 16mm. Set somewhere in Egypt, between a gritty industrial town and an imaginary seascape, Elkoussy constructs a hyperreal world steeped in classic Egyptian film references, theatrical tableaux, and experimental sound compositions. 2024, Netherlands/Egypt/Qatar, DCP, in Arabic with English subtitles, 109 min.
