"Winter of Discontent" by Ibrahim El-Batout (Egypt, 2012, 94 min) - Alwan Film Festival 2013
Set against the momentous backdrop of the mass protests of Cairo's Tahrir Square that began on January 25, 2011, this film takes us on a compellingly raw and moving journey into the lives of an activist, a journalist, and a state security officer. Winter of Discontent poetically explores the anguish of a victim of state terror in 2009, presaging and intertwining with the pivotal events in 2011 that changed the face of Egypt. As the stories of the characters unfold, we are propelled headlong into the heady, often surreal atmosphere of terror and uncertainty that characterized the last days of Mubarak's rule.
