Egypt, City of the Dead

Égypte : La Cité des morts

Also known as Madinat Al-Mawta, Égypte : La Cité des morts ou « Chaque année en janvier »

A portrait of the City of the Dead, an inhabited cemetery just outside of Cairo and on the fringes of the city’s public dumping ground, like a living reproach and a bad conscience. Starting from the City of the Dead, the film shows the populous neighborhoods of Cairo in the grip of hypertrophy and misery, every day more threatened by paralysis.
