Secret Coins in the Factory
14:58 min
Cairo/ Tokyo 2016

.
Secret Coins in the Factory is centered on a master scene of a woman dancing inside a bustling industrial house. Filmed in various locations in Tokyo and Cairo, I chose to neither limit it by script nor by boundaries, but to structure the film as a fluid and open ended tale that unfolds between two seemingly unrelated story lines.
