Elles Dansent

In the corridors of the hospital between the machines and the care staff, Aude never stops dancing. For several years she has been improvising musical encounters with cancer patients. Salsa, Rock, Jazz. Every week, music and dance take hold in the chemotherapy rooms as well as in palliative care. Over the course of her interventions, Aude creates a bond with patients, she offers a kind of breath for a moment that is not really expected in a hospital and invites patients on a journey into a universe far from illness.

Seldom has Egypt's capital been so evocatively captured. A fly-on-the-wall doc exploring the mysterious and hard-knock reality of a typical Egyptian belly dancer clan in working-class Cairo. Unparalleled access to this hidden world leaves the viewer fascinated and surprised that at night they dance. Such frankness among Arabic women is all too rare in films.
