Abdo Zin Eldin is a Cairo Amsterdam-based film director and multidisciplinary artist. Over the past decade, he has garnered extensive experience in audiovisual production, focusing on projects in Egypt's rural and marginalized areas. Abdo has directed short films and documentary videos, compiling a diverse archive of social movements and local cultural events. In 2019, he founded "GalalaLive," a platform and musical group dedicated to recording and reinterpreting traditional music and rituals from Egypt's marginalized communities with contemporary production styles. Now he is a resident at Rijksakademie and committed to his film sound and art installation practice by assembling hauntologies that summon beings, worlds, and histories deemed immemorial by the current ruling discourse. He also creates interactive installations using recycled materials, collaborating with local artisans to address contemporary subjects and matters through fictional worlds. Abdo's work has been showcased at international film festivals and museum, including the London Film Festival and Cinema Du Reel, The Centre Pompidou.
