SICC Screening #48 – Eagles of the Republic @ Bio Bristol
Bio Bristol, Sturegatan 39, Sundbyberg, SEAfter a short break for the Stockholm Film Festival, we’re back in action with one of the most talked-about films of the year. On Thursday 20th November, SICC will return to the cosy Bio Bristol in Sundbyberg with a special screening of Eagles of the Republic, the acclaimed new political thriller from Tarik Saleh (Cairo Conspiracy, The Nile Hilton Incident).
As always, the film will be shown with English subtitles, and we’ll gather afterwards in Bristol’s cosy café bar to meet, connect, and chat about the film together.About the film:
This intense political thriller follows Egypt’s brightest film star, George Fahmy (Fares Fares), who falls out of favor with the regime and is pressured to take the lead role in a propaganda film about President Abd al-Fattah al-Sisi in order to save his career. He becomes entangled in a web of sex, propaganda, and corruption within the closed corridors of power in this stylish and gripping Cairo drama, where Saleh once again scrutinizes Egypt’s political and religious elite.The film had its world premiere in the main competition at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, where it was nominated for the Palme d’Or, and has since been selected as Sweden’s official entry for Best International Feature Film at the upcoming Oscars.
With Saleh’s signature tension and sharp social commentary, Eagles of the Republic is both a pulse-pounding drama and a timely reflection on the forces shaping modern democracy. Praised for its taut direction and powerhouse performances, the film reaffirms Saleh’s place as one of the boldest voices in contemporary Scandinavian cinema.
