"Cactus flower" and "East of Noon", interview with director Hala Elkoussy Cristiana Palmieri
“Cactus Flower”, directed by Hala Elkoussy, offers a poignant look at familial and cross-generational relationships amidst Cairo’s vibrant urban landscape. The film follows Aida, a young woman in her late 20s, and her friendship with Samiha, an elderly woman over 70, who both face displacement in a city constantly evolving.
Elkoussy explains that her inspiration stemmed from her experiences during the Arab Spring, which she describes as a period when societal boundaries blurred and different generations interacted more openly. The film investigates how such dialogue can foster understanding across age gaps, challenging traditional family structures often marked by rigidity. “There’s a powerful possibility for change if communication remains open between the young and the old,” she emphasizes.
The film’s tone masterfully shifts between realism, absurdity, and dreamlike sequences, reflecting Cairo’s labyrinthine personality. Coming from a background in visual arts, Elkoussy prioritizes experimentation and emotional truth over conventional storytelling. She captures Cairo’s architecture, street life, and the city’s psychological imprint on its inhabitants, portraying it as an almost living being with whom individuals have a complex, intimate relationship.
Elkoussy also discusses her new film presented at Doclisboa, “East of Noon”, which shifts focus to universal themes of youth and hope. Both films emphasize timeless human values like dignity, care for elders, and the importance of preserving hope in rapidly changing times.
"Cactus Flower": Aida, a 33-year-old struggling actress from a provincial background finds herself homeless on the streets of Cairo, alongside her reclusive neighbour Samiha, a 70-year-old bourgeois woman. With no money and nowhere to go, the two women, aided by Yassin, a 20-year-old street-savvy youth, set out to find shelter. Amid the banal—and, at times, disastrous—turns their journey takes, they embark on parallel journeys of self-discovery. An extraordinary friendship grows between the unlikely trio, like a delicate flower blooming from a thorny cactus.
"East of Noon": Set in a confined world outside of time, East of Noon tells the story of Abdo, a 19-year-old prodigy who uses music to rebel against his elders: showman Shawky, a 70-year-old eccentric showman who rules with a mix of performance and fear, and Jalala, a 75-year-old storyteller, who provides relief with tales of the sea that no one else has seen. Elkoussy’s second feature is a satire on the inner workings of an ailing autocracy and its inherent vulnerability to youth’s unchained vision of a better world.
