Mohamed Diab’s film ‘Clash’ at Cannes Film Festival earns unanimous praise

Mohamed Diab’s ‘Clash’ getting great reviews at Cannes: Egyptian director Mohamed Diab, writer of the highly acclaimed ‘El Gezira’ films and the groundbreaking ‘Cairo 678’ focusing on [redacted] harassment in Egypt, is currently screening his latest film, ‘Clash,’ at the Cannes Film Festival, where it is earning seemingly (First Showing) unanimous (HuffPo) positive (Variety) reviews. The New York Times has also taken note of the film. The entirety of the film is shot in the back of a police van during the 2013 demonstrations. The film is not a documentary, but some of the scenes of unrest in the streets looks remarkably realistic. (Watch a brief sequence from the film, running time: 58 seconds)
