A chat with the director of Clash, the Egyptian political thriller that premiered at Cannes

An Egyptian political thriller, Clash, had its international premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.

Screened as part of the festival’s director-focused program – Un Certain Regard – on Thursday, Clash takes place in the days following the ousting of president Mohammed Morsi in June 2013. Protesters are on the streets and the army is trying to assert control.

The state clamps down and protesters of all political hues are arrested and thrown into the back of a police van.

Beautifully shot and with the action mostly taking place within the confines of the police van, Clash explores the societal and political complications plaguing the Egyptian nation.
