Philip Rizk is a filmmaker and writer from Cairo living in Berlin. In his films, he experiments with methods of making the habitual strange. In Out on the Street (2015), he uses performance to accomplish this effect, while in his ongoing film Land Listening (2024-current) and his found footage films Mapping Lessons (2020), Terrible Sounds (2022) and Terror Tales (2024), he experiments with montage. In a world that is breaking down, a central question that runs throughout Philip's projects is: how do we prepare ourselves for what is to come? Philip is a member of the Mosireen video collective behind the archive 858.ma. His writings include A letter to the-survivors-of-the-old-time and the upcoming Neo-colonization and its Dismantling.
