Coming Forth by Day (Lofty, 2012): BFI Southbank, NFT2, 6.20pm
This film is part of the Pan-African film season at BFI Southbank. Full details here.
BFI introduction:
Shot amid the turmoil of revolution, this impressive debut takes place
in the suburbs of Cairo and traces one day in the life of a daughter as
she and her mother struggle to look after her father, who is housebound
following a stroke. Echoing the work of Chantal Akerman, Lofty’s film is
noted for its disorientating use of space and time to convey the
solitude and claustrophobia of life.
Here (and above) is an introduction to the film.
