Join the Arab American National Museum and CMENAS as we host the Michigan Premiere of Tamer El Said’s ambitious debut feature film, In the Last Days of the City. The film showcases the fictional story of a filmmaker from downtown Cairo, as he struggles to capture the soul of a city on edge while facing loss in his own life.

Shot in Cairo, Beirut, Baghdad and Berlin during the two years before the outbreak of revolution in Egypt, the film’s multi-layered stories are a visually rich exploration of friendship, loneliness and life in cities shaped by the shadows of war and adversity. Immediately following the screening, director Tamer El Said will join the audience for an intimate talkback, live!
