- 2014 Winner Viewfinders Grand Jury Prize"Cairo Drive is a funny, endearing, deeply humane look at the everyday struggle to navigate the crazy streets of Egypt's capital. Director Sherief Elkatsha introduces us to a range of Cairenes-secular, religious, young, old, rich, poor, traditional, cosmopolitan-and somehow never manages to lose sight of them as individuals. The film's amused look at the subtleties of honking, the informal rules of the road and the inevitability of commuter frustration points to deeper truths about recent developments in Egypt, even while carefully avoiding direct political or social commentary. With the Arab Spring as a backdrop, we see the enduring rhythms-and the often crushing inertia-of public life as experienced by the people of Cairo."
