Giran Filming Locations
Residential, affluent Garden City has broad, tree-lined streets home to foreign embassies, grand private mansions, and upscale hotels with chic global restaurants. Traditional wooden felucca boats offer sunset tours on the Nile, while the waterfront Corniche is popular for quiet walks. Bronze lion statues guard either end of landmark Qasr al-Nil Bridge, where people stop in the evening for river and city views.
Giran (2009)
Garden City, a small but pivotal neighborhood. Since the turn of the 19th century, it has been the seat of the world's political powers in the Egyptian capital. The film takes us on a journey through abandoned villas, opulent salons, foreign embassies, threatened businesses and rooftop living rooms. Houses turn into witnesses as they make flesh of history's turmoil. Residents and dwellings become a voice telling a story of hope, rupture and endurance. Far from political correctness, all stereotypes dropped, a glimpse of truth comes into view. An allegory of contemporary Egypt, the film challenges us to reflect as well on the security obsessions of our world today.
