Logical Revolts

Chris Marker and Edward Saïd are the spiritual influences of 'Logical Revolts', which is introduced by and named after a furious poem by Rimbaud. After having found an old, never realised film script about the Suez crisis in 1956, the filmmaker Henderson travels to Cairo with the film script as his guide. He feels like a stranger, and he finds it difficult to penetrate what he sees. The gestures and angry looks of the locals are addressed to both his little pocket camera and to us as viewers. 'Logical Revolts' is a political, philosophical and literary embrace of history's relationship to post-revolutionary reality in today's Egypt.
