M.A.G.N.E.T is the title of the film by Basim Magdy, commissioned by MAAT. The film is a historiographic metafiction that short-circuits past, present and future in a fictional narrative full of ambiguity and mystery. The plot describes how different individuals and communities face the news of an increase in the planet’s gravity - one of the four fundamental forces of nature - describing in a poetic, yet realistic way, a series of unexpected events and situations that ake place indifferent locations and context
