ALL POLITICAL ART IS BAD ART ALL GOOD ART IS POLITICAL
Make a 3 minute film.
If this is the last thing you do before you die, is it this 3 minute? Do not put another meaningless item into this world.
Be serious!
Where are you in the world today?
Are you in your inside room?
Or the room you are standing in right now? Or in Cairo?
Or in Egypt?
Or in Africa?
Or in the world?
Who are you in the world today?
Who are “the others”?
Are those sides of yourself you do not want to know about? Who is the stranger?
Is it me or you?
What do you do? How do you know?
What do you have to do?
WHAT DO YOU REALLY HAVE TO DO?
