Street art in Cairo

Filippo Bacciocchi, Laura Cappon | 2012 | Italy | 7’ | hors concours

The documentary tells the way in which the explosion of street art (graffiti) during the period of the revolution had conditioned other genres of visual art, through interviews with Mohammed Fahmi (artist name Ganzeer), Mohammed Shennawy (founder of the satirical cartoon magazine Tuk Tuk) and Shayna Kamel (painter). We have a split in how young Cairo artists see their own work from both the creative point of view as well as the social point of view.

Filippo Bacciocchi, photographer and video maker, after years of experience in national reportage he has followed the revolts in Tahrir square, the liberation militaries in Libya during the battle of Tripoli and the elections in Tunisia. Through the  photographic agency AGF he has distributed his own images to the major national and foreign newspapers. From 2008 he is a professor at the school Shootinstitute.

Laura Cappon, 25 years old, freelance journalist, from about a year ago has lived in Cairo and has followed the period of transition after the revolution that has dismissed the dictator Hosni Mubarak. She collaborates with Il Fatto Quotidiano, Radio Popolare and RadioTelevisione Svizzera Italiana.
