Self-Portrait Video Project Cairo

Self-Portrait Video Project cairo (2011-12)

Right in the aftermath of the Tahrir Square Egyptian revolution of 2011, Corinne van Egeraat conducted a year-long personal storytelling video workshop with twelve young Egyptain artists. The theme was: the timeless notion of the artist’s self-portrait and how it can be incorporate in innovative technology-driven trends in communication. This was just the beginning of the video selfie era. The workshop culminated with twelve short films, one of which premiered at the 2021 Berlinale, and with the collaborative feature documentary ANA ANA.
