FREE Film following our famously brief AGM
A band comprised of members of the Egyptian police force head to Israel to play at the inaugural ceremony of an Arab arts center, only to find themselves lost in the wrong town. With no transportation out of the town or any hotels to stay at, the band settles at a restaurant owned by Dina who offers them lodging. What follows is a special night of quiet happenings and confessions as the band makes its own impact on the town and the town on them. Something marvelous happens as the filmmaker, in his first feature, expertly metes out small scenes of communication between people taught, for generations, to be wary of one another. This Band swings with visual wit, verbal charm and a completely droll sense of humor. One can only hope that this film shows the potential for what the future can hold.
