SYNOPSIS
.
 
Like Virgil in the Divine Comedy, Shehab – a charismatic Egyptian dwarf – leads us through the neglected graves of Al Qarafa, where the living co-exist with the dead.
Al-Qarafa, the City of the Dead is a surreal short documentary shot in Cairo. It’s a glimpse of a veiled reality that even Egypt itself wants to ignore preferring to glorify the past of the Pharaohs and their glamorous cemeteries rather than face the present of Al-Qarafa with its dead and living inhabitants.

BIO
.

Alessandro Molatore is an Italian filmmaker based in Dublin.

After concluding his film studies in Bologna, he leaves Italy to put into practice his passion and skills in Germany, California, Ireland and several other countries where he has worked on varied film projects.

Awards winning director and writer, Alessandro brings over ten years experience in editing and photography to his company "Cacti Films", which he applies to the production and development of provocative and original films.

As traveling and filmmaking are important components of his life, the documentary soon became one of his preferred forms of expression.
