Over the past few months, the Old Facts Are Yet to Amaze workshop has been working on the Cairo Cinema Club archives from its founding in 1967 until 1974. The workshop consisted of eight sessions that delved into various access points to the cinema club’s archive. Now, we invite you to join us for a tour of the archive we explored, complemented by research presentations on other non-filmic cinema archives. These archives encompass diverse materials, including paper material; whether books, magazines, newsletters, publications, in addition to production and distribution documents. Whereas oral histories narrate experiences of going to the cinema and watching films in various contexts.

Research presentations by Rahma El Haddad, Mohamed Said Ezzedine, Philip Widmann, Ifdal Elsaket. Organised by Ahmed Refaat.
