Egypt 2006. With Hanan Turk, Shereef Mouneer, Fathi Abdel Wahab. 105 min.12A

A beautiful comedy-drama set in the crowded streets of Cairo; Cut and Paste marks the journey of a young Egyptian woman in her attempt to get married. Her ultimate aim is to acquire a visa to immigrate to New Zealand in search of a better life. Hala Khalil's exposure of the lack of opportunities for ordinary Egyptians offers a sharp critique of the country, and is garnished with fine performances, crisp cinematography and signals the arrival of a new talent.

Winner, Best Arab Film, Cairo Film Festival 2006
