The May program of Mizna Film Series: Feminist Visions presents a retrospective of Atteyat El-Abnoudy’s work. Often considered Egypt’s pioneer documentary filmmaker and "filmmaker of the poor," El-Abnoudy's oeuvre maps the intersections of class, labor, and gender in Egypt, largely through the perspectives of women. With training in law, journalism, and filmmaking, El-Abnoudy was active as a documentary filmmaker from the 1970s through the early 2000s. El-Abnoudy’s films offer an intimate glimpse into the lives of working-class Egyptians through politically engaged and socially preoccupied documentary form. Giving a voice to women outside of Egypt's metropolitan centers, El-Abnoudy enables her film subjects to return the camera's gaze and narrate their stories in their own words.Featuring Abnoudy's films HORSE OF MUD (1971), SAD SONG OF TOUHA (1972), THE SANDWICH (1975), RAWYA (1995), PERMISSIBLE DREAMS (1982).
