The countryside and 25 January Cinema

There is no dispute that "Egypt before the 25th of January," is totally different from "Egypt after the 25th of January," But perhaps we disagree about our perceptions of Egypt beyond the 25th of January and that can not be compromised in a group of constants is almost to be the feature of the year for the period the next president has been a demand by the Group branched from the demands of the revolution on the 25th of January, namely the establishment of a sound democratic life, which is the only condition check the rest of the achievements or other targets. You have reached Egypt in the 25th of January to the case say the least, is the general frustration, and the absence of a sign of hope, only to break the barrier of fear security is suffocating our chests, and move the blocks mass dispelled this frustration, and grabbed the sun hope to fill the skies of Egypt warmth
Before the 25th of January, Egypt has become with no identity, without a goal, and the chain of belonging was cut among a large number of Egypt's sons. After the 25th of January, it is sufficient that the Egyptians are to be proud of this, and democratic life has become a target sound wraps around it all. The growing membership of Egypt and the pursuit of expectations, followed certainly change in the producer are different, and will produce revolution, a group of artists and a group of theses art across all art forms, and will be excised for itself its momentum; or currents of art; depending on the impact of the power of what happened change in Egypt.
And cinema as an art complex of a group of arts can be an indicator for such desired change, and the belief of the Land Centre how great the role of arts in the lives of the people and cinema in particular, and in anticipation of it and looking for a better future; calls for this workshop, panel discussion "Cinema after the 25th of January," across the three axis; discusses the first axis their vision film of the countryside of Egypt, and how was this vision surface and are counterfeiting often does not discuss or address the real problems of the peasant Egyptian both in terms of being a citizen of his political and economic rights and has the right of health care, education and access to clean and healthy drinking water, as well as ignoring the problems and issues relating to the exercise of its role and ensuring careers in the Egyptian life, the films of the Egyptian cinema did not have the minimum limit to address these issues, especially with the decline in the level of Egyptian agriculture in recent years, so we started importing our food and at high rates (wheat, beans), as we We import cotton, after wearing the whole world of Egyptian cotton textiles, and other problems related to agricultural operation. The second axis; control later on the 25th of January, is an open discussion of form and function of control later on the 25th of January, since it is not logical to continue to freedom of expression to what it was before the 25th of January, we have to imagine general manager oversight transferred to the point of determining age, and the perception of art critics a turning point for the technical evaluation, and there are those who see its abolition altogether.
With looks to the third axis views of the filmmakers, critics and interested people and their aspirations for the cinema after the 25th of January, and how can this film to correct their position with respect to proposed and addressed issues and concerns of the homeland and citizens, what are the features of this new situation, which will be different certainly than before the 25th of January, leading to the starting creative in addressing the crimes of the past and the advancement of the Egyptians and the aspirations of people towards a better future.
The workshop will try to monitor the features of the cinema before the 25th of January, and forward-looking cinema after January 25, with respect to processors to farmers and rural Egypt. The workshop will be held on 03.31.2011 at the Land Centre and your presence are honored and pleased.
