[7sons]

A nonlinear and interactive documentary by Florian Thalhofer and Mahmoud Hamdy. Featuring Camels, Sand, Sheik Suellim and his seven sons.

Abstract

“Sheik Suellim has seven sons” Maher says proudly. “Seven Sons, and not one daughter?” I wonder. “Seven sons,” Maher replies, “and further more six daugthers.”

Florian Thalhofer from Berlin and Mahmoud Hamdy from Cairo met the Bedouins in the Sinai, close to the territories occupied by Israel.

Berlin meets Cairo meets the Beguines - inclusive a sharia-court-case. [7sons] was made in summer 2003 with the support of the Goethe-Institute, Cairo.
