A sneak peek at Mohamed Ramadan's new film Assad - Screens - Arts & Culture
Egyptian actor Mohamed Ramadan shared a few photos from the shooting location of his highly anticipated film Assad (Lion), set for release this year, on his Instagram account. Over the past weeks, Ramadan has also released other photos and videos presenting different scenes from the film. In Assad, Ramadan portrays Ali ibn Muhammad, who led the Zanj Rebellion, a major revolt against the Abbasid Caliphate (from 869 to 883). The film is directed and co-written by Mohamed Diab, a filmmaker also known for writing and directing 678 (2010), Eshtebak (Clash, 2016), among other works. Diab also directed episodes one, three, five, and six of Marvel Studios' TV mini-series Moon Knight and was the co-executive producer of the whole series. Although the date of the film's release has not been announced yet, the audience expected cinemas to show it during Eid Al-Adha in June. However, it was postponed, with some media sources pointing to December this year. The film creators clarified that the grand production requires extensive work to ensure the best results in terms of picture, sound, music, locations, visual effects, and other factors. The film features 70 actors, including 12 major stars and special guests from Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon, and Sudan. It also includes 50 supporting actors — some in single yet pivotal scenes. Besides Ramadan, the main cast includes Razane Jammal, Kamel El-Basha, Aly Kassem, Maged El-Kedwany, Rakeen Saad, and Islam Mubarak. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

Korean Cultural Center Launches Traditional Korean Folk Painting Workshop
Nada Mustafa The Korean Cultural Center in Egypt inaugurated its Traditional Korean Folk Painting Workshop (Minhwa) today at its premises in Dokki. Running from August 3 to 5, the workshop offers participants a unique opportunity to explore the vibrant and symbolic world of minhwa, an integral part of Korea's artistic heritage. Organized by the Korean Cultural Center and curated by the King Sejong Institute Foundation, the workshop is part of the Sejong Culture Academy — a flagship cultural initiative that dispatches Korean culture experts worldwide to deliver immersive programs and foster global appreciation of Korean traditions. Led by distinguished Korean artists, the workshop provides hands-on training in traditional painting techniques, materials, and motifs. Participants will also gain deeper insight into the historical, cultural, and philosophical dimensions of minhwa, making the experience both creatively enriching and educational. The program is designed for students of the Sejong Institute at the Korean Cultural Center in Egypt, as well as local enthusiasts of Korean culture and art. 'Through this workshop, we aim to share a living aspect of Korean heritage and inspire Egyptian artists to connect with it,' said Mr. Oh Sung-ho, Director of the Korean Cultural Center. 'We hope this initiative strengthens cultural ties and promotes artistic dialogue between Korea and Egypt.' Minhwa paintings are renowned for their expressive style and rich symbolism, often depicting themes such as prosperity, longevity, and harmony. Popular motifs include the 'Four Gracious Plants' — plum blossom, orchid, chrysanthemum, and bamboo — representing the seasons and virtues in Korean philosophy, as well as everyday scenes, landscapes, and folkloric subjects. Known for their vivid colors and intricate detail, minhwa paintings embody both tradition and personal expression, continuing to resonate with contemporary audiences. This workshop is part of the Center's broader mission to promote cultural exchange and deepen mutual understanding between the peoples of Korea and Egypt through the arts. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
