AT NIGHT, THEY DANCE Isabelle Lavigne, Stephane Thibault, 80 min, Canada, 2011, California Premiere Roxie: Fri 10/21 715p, Mon 10/24 930p; Shattuck: Thu 10/20 715p
"An award-winning director duo sweeps us into the chaotic world of a family of voluptuous female belly dancers in working class Cairo as they struggle to practice an art in danger of disappearing. The film centres on Reda, a charismatic widow and ex-dancer with seven children and one on the way, her wise confidante, and three of her daughters, who now dance at raucous all-male celebrations for a living. ...Music, dancing, a blistering daytime sun and the magic of Cairo nights pulse throughout this astonishingly intimate and rare portrait of women whose art is desired but no longer considered reputable". - Lynne Fernie, HotDocs (Special Jury Prize)
The 10/20 screening is followed by the Berkeley Closing Night Party at Lot 68 Lounge at the Shattuck Cinemas. The party is 21 up and sponsored by the East Bay Express
