Two Egyptian films awarded at Casablanca Arab Film Festival
Two Egyptian films, The Brink of Dreams and Love Bites, won awards at the sixth edition of the Casablanca Arab Film Festival (13-20 June). Nada Riyadh and Ayman El-Amir directed The Brink of Dreams, which received the Jury Prize in the Feature Film Competition. Love Bites, written and directed by Mahmoud Zain, received a Special Mention in the Short Film Competition. The Brink of Dreams follows the story of an all-female Coptic group that formed a theatre troupe to perform plays inspired by Upper Egyptian folklore in their small village. The troupe aims to raise awareness about important issues, like early marriage, domestic violence, and girls' education. The film stars Majda Masoud, Haidi Sameh, Monika Youssef, Marina Samir, Myriam Nassar, Lydia Haroun, and Youstina Samir. In 2024, The Brink of Dreams won the Golden Eye Documentary Prize at the 77th Cannes Film Festival. The film garnered numerous other awards from international festivals, the latest being Best Feature at the 15th edition of Malmö Arab Film Festival (29 April - 5 May). Love Bites is a 12-minute drama starring Sedky Sakhr, Sohila Alanwar, Nadia Hassan, and Mahmoud Yehia. The film tells the story of Hayam, an unmarried 20-year-old girl, who passes away. Her brothers, Zaher and Murad, discover love bites on her neck and chest just before the body washing. This fact hinders the completion of the body washing practice for fear of a scandal. Love Bites premiered at the Aswan International Women's Film Festival (2-7 May 2025), receiving a Special Mention in the Short Film Competition. The film was then screened at the Rotterdam Arab Film Festival (28 May–1 June). This is not the first time Egyptian films have garnered recognition at the Casablanca Arab Film Festival.

Mohamed Ramadan Lands Next Film Role
Yara Sameh Egyptian actor Mohamed Ramadan has lined up his next movie role. The untitled project sees Ramadan teaming up again with producer Ahmed El Sobky for the first time in seven years. It also marks the pair's four collaboration after "Abdo Mota" (2012), "Qalb Al-Assad" (2013), and "El Diesel" (2018). Ramadan is currently busy shooting Mohamed Diab's historical action thriller film "Assad". Maged El Kedwany, Khaled Elsawy, Razane Jammal, Sherif Salama, Aly Kassem, Ahmed Khaled Saleh, and Ahmed Dash, are also on board to star. Mohamed Diab directs from a script he co-wrote with Sherine Diab and Khaled Diab. "Assad" is set in 1280 AD in the Mamluk era and features Ramadan portraying Ali bin Muhammad Al-Farsi, who is sold in the slave market and later leads the revolution against the Abbasid army. Ramadan previously said that the film took three years to prepare for, and because of it, he didn't make any new TV series due to the film's complexity and time frame. "Assad" reunites Ramadan with Dash for the third time after working together on the 2023 TV series " Gaafar El Omda " and the 2020 TV series " Al Prince ". It also marks the actor's second foray into the historical genre, after starring in 2017's "The Treasure" and its follow-up, 2019's "The Treasure 2: Love and Destiny", both directed by Sherif Arafa. Ramadan, born on May 23, 1988, began acting while at school. He launched his career with small roles in TV series like 'The Cinderella' until he had his big break in Yousry Nasrallah's 'Ehky Ya Sharazad' (Tell me, Shahrazad). He then went on to star in blockbusters produced by the famous Egyptian producers Mohamed and Ahmed El Sobky, which made him one of the most bankable actors in the Middle East. Ramadan began exploring the music scene in the past years. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
