Al Araba Al Madfuna III (2015)
Directed by Wael Shawky
· 23m
This is the final film in Shawky’s Al Araba Al Madfuna trilogy (meaning ‘buried cart’), titled after a village in Egypt where shamans urged inhabitants to dig underground tunnels, revealing a network of ancient temples and Pharaonic treasures. Acted by children who have been dubbed in classical Arabic with adult voices, the layering of history and narratives over many centuries creates sensations of wonder, alienation and estrangement, exacerbated by the film’s production in negative, which further highlights the protagonists’ role reversals.
