The Collectors
WATCH TRAILER
The golden age of modern and surrealist art in Egypt has long past. But two collectors – husband and wife, Adel and May – have built a collection of paintings and sculpture out of their love and passion for the artists they once knew. Interviewed in-depth among the works in their beautiful Egyptian home, find yourself transported through an oil-paint portal to a bygone age of cafés, circuses and cabarets, in the Mediterranean melting-pot of Alexandria.
