“Cause and effect… result of thousands of years of looting and pillage… people remained steadfast…” From the banks of the Nile and the pyramids through modern-day Cairo, the film creates a sense of the timelessness of Egypt which climaxes on a tourist boat in the shimmering heat of the Red Sea. Optically printed, a manipulation of image, time, colour, and subtle light. A subtle statement on white, middle-class values.
