18 Days
Portmanteau pic 18 Days is an instant response to the 2011 Egyptian revolution by a collective of 10 rising and established filmmakers. Useful both as a showcase for the region's emerging talent and as a raw reaction to recent political events, the shorts are standalone works linked by the 18-day revolution. (...) The participants worked gratis, and all proceeds will go to funding social outreach in Egyptian villages.
(...) Issues touched on throughout the pic include poverty, corruption and the sense of pride, unity and hope that's become one of the most thrilling outcomes of the revolution. Visuals run the gamut from shaky naturalistic handheld to more rigorously controlled and theatrical lensing (...).
