I’m starting a Youssef Chahine thread-this is for me to connect to who I am and where I come from/finding a greater sense of Identity through the thing I love most- Chahine was an outrageously talented visionary who brought themes of struggle/resistance to the Egyptian big screen

The first film of his I’ll be diving into is ‘Destiny’ - #nw - 1st viewing - ‘Destiny’ - stoked to be seeing this and to be diving into one of the greatest international filmmakers who ever lived- excited to find more of myself and my country through the power of stories in film-

Revisiting this thread to officially kick it off! Super excited to start this! My second film of Chahines that I’ll be seeing is his debut in ‘Cairo Station’
