Join us at e-flux Screening Room on Saturday, December 17 at 5pm for a screening of Mohammad Shawky Hassan’s film Shall I Compare You to a Summer’s Day?, followed by a discussion with the filmmaker moderated by Alia Ayman.
Shall I Compare You to a Summer’s Day? is a contemporary queer musical taking Arab folktales as its formal reference and Egyptian pop music as its primary sonic material. It is based on the filmmaker’s personal love diary and told in the form of a One Thousand and One Nights tale, where stories playfully unfold through conversations between Shahrazad, a narrator who never comes into view, and ghosts of former lovers. The film premiered in the Forum section of Berlinale in 2022.
