EGYPT, LOVE SONG

Iris Zaki

Souad Zaki was a famous Jewish Arabic singer in 1940s Egypt. She married to a renowned
Muslim musician – Mohamed Elakkad, with whom she had a son. After Mohammed abandoned
her with their child, Souad fled to Israel, where she was consigned to live a poor life. Souad’s
granddaughter, Iris Zaki, brings her tempestuous story to life in a sweeping project that crosses
cultures, religions and cinematic form – marrying scripted period scenes and rare archival
materials with an intimate father-daughter documentary journey.
