In our last screening of “Perfumed Memories”, we recollect collective and personal memories through this week’s film “Cytokine Storm”. Through a collective project, students of Jesuit Cairo Cinema School monitor how they lived and were affected by the COVID-19 crisis. Each one explored what the place, the people, or the surroundings’ atmosphere actually meant to them, by facing boredom and silence with a shooted visual diary. Gradually, they discovered that there were personal thoughts, feelings, and reactions that affected them as filmmakers, while the world had a common sense of anxiety and awareness.

The screening is followed by a Q&A session with the filmmakers, moderated by director Nadine Salib.

Join us this Monday for a journey through distant memories of a reality that now feels like fiction.
