31 July, 9pm: Frontiers of Fears and Dreams, directed by Palestinian filmmaker Mai Masri best known for her films about Palestinian children (English subtitles).

For the third week running the art review focuses on --?The Collective Exhibition 2012--ç; a group exhibition that features 60 artists from different generations including among others Mohamed Sabry, Salah Taher, Mohamed El-Tarrawi, Makram Henein, Samir Fouad, Halim Yacoub, Mohamed Mandour, Nadia Hassan, Effat Hosni, Mohsen Shaalan, Mustafa Khodeir, Mervat Refaat, Ahmed Badawi, Ahmed Selim, Hassan Rashed, Ayman Taher, Ehab Lotfy, Mona Abdel-Rahman, Adel Thabet, Djehan Raouf, Eman Hakim and Galal El-Husseiny.
Currently ongoing at Duroub gallery in Garden City, the miscellaneous exhibition is showcasing paintings, sculptures, ceramics, glasswares, 3D objects, calligraphy and handmade silver jewellery.
Hassan Rashed is among the unique artists participating in this collective show and he gained his reputation as a lover of folk arts. In his paintings, he has a special interest in painting the meticuluous details making a brilliant use of the motifs of the folk arts. He is infatuated by folk heritage and his works remind the audience with folk drawings painted on the walls of Egyptian houses in the popular districts and alleys of Egyptian cities and villages such as the camel and the boat painted on the house of the person who has just returned from the Hajj pilgrimage. In the 1960s and 1970s, he was the pupil of late veteran artist Hassan Suleiman from whom he learned a lot mainly his concern with the Egyptian and Arab identity. The Islamic Museum was frequented by Rashed who used to depict from the islamic arts in his paintings then he liked the Coptic art and became infatuated by the Pharaonic art through his regular visits to the Egyptian Museum. As a result, a number of his artworks reflected a brilliant melange between the Islamic, Coptic and Pharaonic art.
The exhibition is on until 16 September.

*ÒHarassmentÓ, Some will tell you it's due to sexual frustration resulting from young men financially unable to get married, others will tell you It's general frustration from the hardships of life. So many theories, yet no real answer. The issue remains a black box. At the end, no one really understands why the problem is so rampant in Egypt._Strangely though, sexual harassment mysteriously vanished during the famous 18 days beginning Egypt's revolution. Again, people are trying to understand how and why. The utopia did not last long however, society's ailments that had mysteriously seemed to vanish, returned in full force. The problem may be back as it was, but the women are, definitely, no longer the same.__Whether it is through television, internet, lawsuits or art, their voice is being heard, and will continue to be heard: Enough.__Participating artists:__Amira Paree (The Netherlands / Egypt),_Anka Gadasevic (Serbia)_Dina Abdel-Aziz,_Enas Abul Komsan, _Enas El-Sediek, Habeeba Sultan,_Hagar_Hela Ammar ( Tunisia)_Khadija Mustafa, _Nahla El-Sebaey among others (Closing 20 August). _
*ÒLost GodsÓ, Joshua Goode is presenting 200 small sculptures. These will be buried in containers of sand. Visitors will be asked to 'dig' to find them and then will display them on a shelf or table. They will find complete figures and fragments. All of these objects have a specific meaning for Goode and are part of his personal mythology, yet they are meant to have enough ambiguity that others can find their own meaning within them. Viewers can use them as characters in their own stories, projected personifications (Closing 20 August).
