Video | Ebb and flow

Nour leaves her life in corona-ridden Cairo and slips into shifting states of being. Time and space intertwine, while her emotions fluctuate between a sense of hopelessness and a heightened appreciation for all that is beautiful in life.

Nour Pleutin is a high school senior at the Lycée Français du Caire and lives between Cairo and Fayoum. She has a passion for drawing, filming, editing and dance, and practices her arts in a way that explores their many possibilities. Her documentary film "The kiln of discovery" was commissioned by Mada Masr in 2019.

"Right here and now" is a personal documentation of experiences and concerns as they are lived and felt. Poetic, quirky and cutting edge, these videos explore nuances of being human today in the often bewildering world we all share, as individually captured through the unique lenses of auteur filmmakers.
