The Egyptian film “I Raised My Eyes to the Sky” won the Golden Eye Award for Best Documentary at the seventy-seventh Cannes Film Festival.
This is the first win of its kind for an Egyptian film to win this award, directed by Nada Riad and Ayman Al-Amir, and presents the story of the “Panorama Barsha” troupe for girls in Upper Egypt, which roams the streets with theatrical performances inspired by elements of local folklore.
The work showcases the artistic and spiritual power of these girls in challenging stereotypes and highlighting their culture in a creative and influential way, reflecting the courage of girls in facing challenges and achieving their dreams in a society where representation of girls is unliked, and the film also embodies the way the troupe deals with its dreams and social issues as it finds itself in the middle of multiple challenges, and it reflects the lived reality in Egyptian society.
The Golden Eye Award is awarded to the best documentary at the Cannes Film Festival and was launched in 2015 and is presented every year to documentaries participating in the festival, accompanied by a prize of €5,000.
