      Egyptian filmmaker Sherief Elkatsha’s ‘Far from the Nile’ to premiere in US
      ShareTweetPostEmail

      The film follows the journey of 12 African musicians hailing from seven different countries along the Nile River.

      Egyptian filmmaker Sherief Elkatsha is all set to unveil his documentary feature film, Far from the Nile, in its American premiere. The screening will take place on Saturday, November 18 at 2 PM in the Downtown Community Television Center Cinema, located within the historic Chinatown building in New York.

      Following the screening, there will be a Q&A session with the director. The discussion will delve into various aspects of the film, including its production process, the challenges encountered during its creation, behind-the-scenes hurdles, and the film’s compelling premise.

      Far from the Nile will also be showcased again on Tuesday, November 21st at 7 PM, with tickets available for purchase online.

      Directed by Sherief Elkatsha, who also played a role in co-producing the movie, Far from the Nile embarks on a captivating journey. The film follows 12 African musicians hailing from seven different countries along the Nile River. They come together in an international coalition with the shared mission of shedding light on the water conflict that plagues the river.

      Leaving their homes in Burundi, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, and Uganda, the musicians embark on a 100-day tour through the heartland of America. Throughout the journey, the film captures the challenges of collaboration across diverse cultural backgrounds.

      Despite the vast cultural differences, distinct musical styles, and competing egos, the artists are compelled to find ways to create and stay united in their shared cause.

      This three-time-award-winning film initially made its debut at the 2022 Cairo International Film Festival’s Horizons of Arab Cinema, where it claimed the Best Non-Fiction Film Award. Subsequently, it earned the Silver Award in the Feature-Length Category at the 12th Luxor African Film Festival and the Exceptional Merit at the Doctors Without Borders International Film Festival.

      Sherief Elkatsha, who was born in the US and raised in Cairo, now divides his time between Cairo and New York.
