Philip Rizk is a filmmaker and writer from Cairo currently living in Berlin. In his films, he experiments with methods of “making the habitual strange.” In Out on the Street (2015) he uses performance, in his found footage films Mapping Lessons (2020) and Terror Tales (2024) he experiments with montage. Along with the filmmaker Baya Medhaffer, Rizk is developing the upcoming Majliss Fanon, a film programme around Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth. He is also editor of the forthcoming book Neocolonialism and its Dismantling, which puts Fanon’s final book in conversation with the thawrat of the Arabic-speaking region over the past 15 years.
