We’re super excited to announce next Monday’s screening of Microphone by director Ahmad Abdalla, one of the most influential independent films in the scene in the last decade. It inspired an entire generation of filmmakers to tell their stories and the stories of those around them.<\/p>\n
The film follows the story of Khaled, who upon returning to his native Alexandria after traveling abroad in the United States for several years, discovers that time has altered and severed many of his prior relationships, namely between he and his former flame. Feeling alone and rejected, Khaled wanders the city and quickly stumbles into a new world: the underground arts scene. As he becomes increasingly enchanted with this counterculture movement, Khaled crosses paths with street hip-hoppers, rooftop rockers, graffiti artists and documentary filmmakers. It is not long before his professional and personal life become completely immersed in music, film and art.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In addition to stringing together vibrant characters and locales, Microphone is a rich depiction of some of the most exceptional non-professional musicians the city has to offer.<\/p>\n
