Documentary 20′ (in postproduction)
directed by Sandra Gysi
A young hopeful Fathi Afifi gets his first job in a factory – Clocking in with twenty thousand other workers. Arriving for the first time, he was told – forget your name -Here you’re a number. Over four decades later , his art is celebrated for its depiction of the de-humanizing effect of industry on the human spirit. He expresses this in his unique style – mixing surrealism, figurative and realism.
