Cabaret Crusades: The Path to Cairo (2011)
Directed by Wael Shawky
Documentary, Animation · 45m
In this installment of Cabaret Crusades, which covers the 46 years from the end of the First Crusade, in 1099, to the beginning of the Second Crusade, in 1147, a cast of more than a hundred 200-year-old string marionettes from the Lupi collection in Turin enact Shawky’s highly original approach to staging and filming history; the puppets represent actual historical figures, and the project was filmed entirely in a church in Aubagne according to a cinematic shot breakdown.
