Courtesy Felucca Films Egyptian filmmaker Ayman El Amir, who co-directed the groundbreaking, Cannes prize-winning documentary “The Brink of Dreams,” is developing his next feature, “A Pair of Shoes in the Dark Corner of the Moon.” The satirical comedy is among the projects that will be taking part in the Crossroads Co-Production Forum of the Agora, the industry arm of the Thessaloniki Intl. Film Festival.
Set in a remote Egyptian village, the film follows George, a quirky Coptic dreamer who’s desperate to be a famous actor but is stuck playing an extra in low-budget films. As his village is promised a sewage mega-project, George also catches a miraculous break on a space-themed reality TV show promising a voyage to the moon. Overnight, he becomes a celebrated national hero.
