This fictional short is compiled from 8mm footage taken at the Gezira Sporting Club in Cairo in the early 60s. Note the absence of fast food stands, veils, hijabs, amd grossly overweight older women, all of which can be seen in abundance there today, and the presence of elegant cane chairs and real tablecloths. which, alas, are now a thing of the past. The audio track is Enta Fein (Where are you?), sung by Lebanese artist Yasmine Hamdan of Soapkill. Unlike my prior, more nostalgic family movie clips, this is a sort of experimental "movie," starring Edith Howard (who was married to the first Egyptian editor of The Egyptian Gazette), my father, mother, brother Adel, and myself, in a sorry bit part, and looking really awkward trying to pretend I play footie. It helps to understand Arabic to grasp the gist of this film.
