a| Shot entirely on location inside Egypt’s oldest and most important national daily, Al-Ahram, this film is an unconventional account of the 2011 revolution, which does not include any images of the popular uprising itself. Tahrir Square was both a popular uprising and a revolution in visual representation: the country shifted from strict control of the Egyptian state media to a new visual regime introduced by a distribution of images through social media. By taking us on an insider’s tour around the newspaper offices, the film suggests a wider reflection upon the ways in which structures of political power are intimately connected to strategies of managing the visible. In a row of meticulously composed shots, we meet staff from both the top-level executive office to the rank and file employees, and hear off-screen first person accounts of the workings of the Egyptian media. Placing images of Egypt’s political leaders in a historical context, the film reveals how the framing of images has been used by state controlled media and how an idealized image of the revolution is being similarly constructed today.
