Cairo Drive is a 2014 Egyptian documentary film by Sherief Elkatsha. The film explores Cairo's chaotic traffic and illustrates the ways in which individuals navigate its hectic roads, unspoken rules, and 14 million vehicles. The film was shot over three years, from 2009 to 2012, and depicts scenes from before, during, and after the 2011 revolution. The film debuted on October 27, 2013 at the Abu Dhabi Film Festival and received the Best Film From the Arab World - Documentary Competition award. It is Elkatsha's fourth feature film and his first to appear in an international film festival.

Synopsis

The film begins in 2009 and opens with aerial shots of Cairo's geometrical gridlock, while Handel's Water Music plays seamlessly in the background. The serenity is quickly broken, however, by a series of ground-level shots of bumper to bumper traffic, shouting taxi drivers, and an endless symphony of car horns. Amidst this mélange of 14 million vehicles, it appears that not even the traffic police understand how it all works. Yet through a series of comical behind the wheel interviews, it becomes clear that the array of sounds and gestures represents an ongoing dialogue between the city's 20 million residents. However, the film also touches upon the city's darker side. Corruption is rampant and despite residents' crafty work-arounds, the situation is without question out of control and getting worse. One resident describes crossing Cario's streets, many of which have eight or more "lanes", as a giant game of Frogger. A more poignant moment comes when a long-time American resident of Cairo recounts how his daughter, 18, was struck and killed by a bus.
