This summer, we are teaming up with the Queer Summer Film Program, which runs from July 9 to 20 and aims to celebrate and explore perspectives of queer love, sexuality and gender diversity. Organized together with various film festivals and queer organizations, the program consists of a balanced program of queer films: unforgettable classics as well as new gems.
Shall I Compare You To A Summer’s Day?
A playful and poetic queer love story set in contemporary Egypt, Shall I Compare You to a Summer’s Day? blends folklore, diary entries, and pop culture in a vibrant, genre-defying collage. Drawing on the structure of One Thousand and One Nights, director Mohammad Shawky Hassan weaves tales of past lovers into a lyrical narrative that challenges conventions of gender, love, and storytelling. Bold, musical, and deeply personal, the film is both a celebration and a subversion of romantic memory.
