Exhibition presentation

In situ exhibition dedicated to the work of Egyptian filmmaker Youssef Chahine, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of his passing.

Around 250 authentic objects were presented: artworks, posters, photographs, paper documents, jewellery, costumes, objects, elements taken from film sets… These pieces came from the archive collections donated to the Cinémathèque française by Chahine and subsequently his family.
The aim of this exhibition was to explore the great moments of the director’s life, whose films are sometimes deeply autobiographical (Alexandria… Why?, 1979), to show his creative process, his influences, his commitments. His personal archives inform us of this complex personality but also about an oeuvre that mixes an appeal for entertainment, spectacle, joie de vivre and political and activist discourse.
It also showcased the work of an Egyptian artist who admired the filmmaker and who would become his friend, Youssef Nabil, exhibiting three of his photographs and allowing him to design the exhibition poster.

Exhibition spanning 190m². Sponsored by Neuflize OBC, the Fondation Gan pour le Cinéma and supported by Vivendi, Canal+, Pathé, Misr International Films, Kodak, Christian Louboutin, Orange Studio and the Institut Audiovisuel de Monaco.
