The Yacoubian Building is an Egyptian film based on the novel of the same title by author Alaa Al Aswany. It has been reported to be the highest-budgeted film in the history of Egyptian cinema.
The aim of the screening is to focus on films created in the Arab world by our very own local directors. This quarter, Fuad Halwani’s selections explore the theme of “links and ties” between family members and relationships between neighbors.
