Out On The Street (2015)
a film by Jasmina Metwaly & Philip Rizk
Nine men gather for a workshop on a rooftop. There they perform confrontations of everyday life, with the police and at the workplace.
In the process, the actors engage a space between the theatrical and the real.
This is not a film about workers.
The factory is a microcosm, a miniature Egypt.
