Zawya Cinema to Screen Gaza-Filmed Docu-Series ‘From Ground Zero'
Apr 23, 2025
As part of the 8th edition of Cairo Cinema Days, Downtown Cairo's Zawya Cinema will host the Egyptian premiere of 'From Ground Zero', a series of 22 short films produced in Gaza under siege. The screening begins on April 24th, with all films subtitled in English.
The initiative was launched by veteran Palestinian director Rashid Masharawi to create space for filmmakers from Gaza to tell their own stories—first-hand perspectives that are often erased or sidelined in global coverage of the ongoing war. The project brings together fiction, documentary, animation, and experimental film to explore daily life, memory, displacement, grief, and resistance in a war-torn context.
Tickets are priced at EGP 100, with the full screening schedule to be announced by Zawya Cinema in the coming days.

Hurghada Festival honour crowns my journey, I choose roles that last: Ghada Adel
After more than two decades in the spotlight, Egyptian star Ghada Adel remains one of the most versatile and influential actresses in Arab cinema and television. From comedy to romance and drama, her performances have captivated audiences across the region. On September 25, Adel will be honoured at the third Hurghada Youth Film Festival, receiving a lifetime achievement award for her artistic journey, her contributions to film and television, and her consistent support for emerging talent. In this interview, Adel opens up about her feelings on the honour, her artistic philosophy, and her outlook on both career and personal life. How did you react when you first heard about your honour at the Hurghada Youth Film Festival? Honestly, I felt overwhelming pride and happiness. It's not just about receiving recognition from colleagues and audiences; it's also about the festival's spirit—dedicated to youth cinema, which I deeply believe represents the future of Egyptian and Arab film. And Hurghada itself is such a magical city; its atmosphere gives the festival an extra glow. For me, this award is not just a crowning moment, but also the beginning of a new chapter. The festival highlighted your support for young directors and new talents, while you've also worked with some of the greatest filmmakers. How do you view these experiences? Cinema thrives on renewal. That's why I always welcome collaborations with young directors and fresh actors who bring new energy and perspectives. At the same time, I consider myself fortunate to have worked with masters like the late Mohamed Khan, who was an entire school in himself. His human sensitivity and artistic depth shaped me profoundly. I also cherish my collaborations with Sherif Arafa in Abboud Ala El-Hodoud, Sandra Nashat in Mallaki Eskendereya, Magdy El-Hawary in El Watar and Ayal Habiba, Amr Arafa in Ibn El-Qunsul, Ahmed Khaled Mousa in Horoub Edterary, and Wael Ihsan in El-Basha Telmeez. Each partnership enriched my career in a unique way. What preparations are you making for the award night? I'm living a mix of excitement and gratitude. I've been receiving so many heartfelt messages from colleagues and friends. I'm preparing a speech that truly reflects the meaning of this moment. Even choosing a dress feels symbolic—I want my look to express exactly how I feel: joyful, proud, and grateful. Recently, your renewed look drew both praise and criticism. How do you respond? I'll be completely frank—I did undergo a facelift, but I didn't alter my features. My only goal was to restore how I looked 10 or 15 years ago, so I could feel comfortable in front of the camera again. I did it for myself, not to please others. Do you remember your first award? Yes, it came early in my career, and back then it felt like I was dreaming. Today, the feeling is different. This recognition comes after years of experiences—successes, mistakes, lessons. It carries a sense of responsibility as much as joy. How do you balance personal life with the demands of your career? It's never easy, but I've learned to set boundaries. I give my family the time they deserve, just as I give to art. My children and my closest friends are my anchor; they keep me grounded and inspired. What was the most difficult moment in your career? There were times when I lost passion, or when I made choices that weren't the best. But I've learned that every challenge is a lesson. Failure, in many ways, can open bigger doors than success. How do you engage with your audience on social media? I love staying connected, but I use it carefully. I focus on sharing positive moments and avoid unnecessary disputes or negativity. What projects are you most excited about now? I'm preparing for several new projects, including the second season of Watar Hassas series, which will take the story in an entirely fresh direction—I think it will surprise audiences. I'm also reviewing some film scripts, and I'll reveal more soon. How did you feel about your role in last Ramadan's season? I was thrilled to return with El-Maddah 5 alongside Hamada Helal. The series was a success, but what touched me most was the audience's excitement to see me again in Ramadan drama. That love means everything. You've become more selective with your work. Why? Because with time, you realise every role is either an addition or a subtraction from your legacy. I no longer choose projects just for exposure. I want roles that remain in people's memory. That often means turning down many offers, but when I say yes, I give it my all. And cinema? Will we see you back on the big screen soon? I hope so. Cinema will always be my first love, but it requires the right creative and production conditions. I'm currently considering several scripts, and I hope one of them comes to light soon. What does such an honour mean for an artist's journey? For me, it's not an endpoint but a milestone. It's recognition of your value, but also a reminder that audiences expect even more. My honour in Hurghada is both a crown on my journey and the start of a new phase where I set the bar higher for myself. What's your message to young actors dreaming of success? Be patient and always search for truth in your performance. Talent alone is never enough—you need discipline, persistence, and hard work. Remember, art is a long journey, not a quick race. Finally, what do you want to say to your fans? I want to say thank you, from the heart. Your love is the reason I keep going. I promise to give everything I can to create work worthy of your trust and affection.

From Cannes to Edinburgh: Europe's 2025 Festivals Demonstrate that Art Is a Powerful Instrument for Peace
In the ancient streets of Edinburgh, where historic stones echo with the sounds of theatre, comedy, and music, the world is witnessing one of the boldest calls for peace: the 2025 International Fringe Festival. The world's largest arts gathering, with more than 3,000 performances, has in its current edition transformed into a vibrant arena for debate on peace, with Palestine and Ukraine at its heart. Amid the lights and satirical performances, Palestinian artist Sami Abu Warda's Palestine: Peace de Resistance stands out. Blending historical narrative with dark comedy, he delivers an absurd yet piercing response to the Palestinian tragedy. His biting satire of colonialism is more than art—it is an act of resistance that transforms suffering into a space for dialogue and reflection. Another performance, Palestine Stands Up, features Palestinian artists sharing their stories through comedy that provokes laughter but leaves a lasting ache—raising a profound question: can peace emerge from laughter? The festival has not been untouched by politics. During an event attended by Scotland's First Minister, John Swinney, Palestinian protesters voiced opposition to his government's support for Israel. The demonstrations were strong enough to cancel several shows—reminding the world that art does not exist apart from politics, but reflects it through the perspective of peoples rather than governments. Yet Edinburgh is not alone this year; Europe as a whole has become one vast stage for peace. At the Cannes Film Festival in May 2025, the Palestinian pavilion returned with strength, affirming that images can resist silencing. Three documentaries on the conflict were screened, including one focusing on Palestinian journalists who face war armed with cameras instead of rifles. In a moving moment, Jury President Juliette Binoche paid tribute to Palestinian photographer Fatima Hassouna, calling on the world to condemn the blockade of Gaza. Meanwhile, Ukraine was honoured through the awarding of the French Order of Arts and Letters to producer Volodymyr Yatsenko—a gesture affirming culture's resilience in the face of destruction. In July, the Festival d'Avignon in France opened its stages to Ukrainian artists envisioning reconstruction. Since 2022, the festival has dedicated space to Ukrainian art, but in 2025 the message was even clearer: here, art is not simply performance but a collective rehearsal for imagining a post-war future. One highlight was a panel entitled The Roles of International Festivals Today, which gathered organisers from across continents to debate the role of culture in a conflict-ridden world. By contrast, the Berlinale 2025 in Germany faced a political storm, after the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) called for its boycott over alleged 'complicity with Israel.' Here, the debates surpassed cinema itself, confronting a larger question: can art ever be neutral? Or is neutrality in times of bloodshed nothing but an illusion? Even smaller festivals echoed the same spirit. Serbia's Festival of Arts and Human Rights (June 2025) featured workshops, plays, and films that addressed Palestine and Ukraine while linking them to broader themes of truth, justice, and freedom. The conclusion was clear: peoples are searching for genuine peace, and art offers the path forward. Why, then, are festivals able to say what political conferences cannot? Research provides an answer. A study from SIT University affirms that cultural festivals foster dialogue and mutual understanding far beyond the language of political interests. On ResearchGate, scholars argue that in post-violence contexts, the arts help repair social ties and nurture empathy between former enemies. Meanwhile, the Oxford Research Encyclopedias emphasise that while art can be harnessed for violence, it more often becomes a powerful instrument of peace, creating shared narratives that dissolve the boundaries of 'us' and 'them.' The picture grows sharper in other studies. Research at Nova Southeastern University highlights that art in conflict zones must be recognised in all its diverse forms, and its true value lies in its independence from biased state politics. A study on reconciliation in Bosnia adds that art builds peace 'from below'—from the people themselves—whereas politics, imposed 'from above,' often fails to reach the human heart. Here lies the stark contrast: political conferences are closed arenas, dominated by governments and their alliances, while artistic festivals are open spaces that amplify the voices of artists, activists, and ordinary people. Politics deafens; art restores hearing with voices that cannot be silenced. In the end, if 2025 has taught us anything, it is that art is neither luxury nor ornament, but a true force for peace. The festivals of Edinburgh, Cannes, Avignon, Berlin, and Serbia have all demonstrated that culture is stronger than political propaganda. If we truly want lasting peace, we must first listen to the artists—before the politicians. Dr. Marwa El-Shinawy – Writer and Academic

The Triumph of Horus to open 32nd Cairo Int'l Festival for Experimental Theatre - Stage & Street - Arts & Culture
The 32nd Cairo International Festival for Experimental Theatre (CIFET) will open with The Triumph of Horus, an ancient Egyptian sacred drama often described as one of the earliest, if not oldest, ceremonial dramatic texts known to humanity. The ritual, rooted in Edfu in Upper Egypt, reenacts the mythological victory of Horus and celebrates his divine kingship. Structured as a prologue, three acts, and an epilogue, it is considered an early example of Egyptian theatrical forms fused with myth and ritual. The staging for CIFET's opening ceremony will be directed and choreographed by Walid Aouni, the Cairo-based Lebanese choreographer honoured at last year's 31st edition for more than three decades of work in Egypt's modern dance and theatre scene. Cairo International Festival for Experimental Theatre Launched in 1988 by then-culture minister Farouk Hosny, CIFET has long been one of Egypt's most significant cultural events, designed to place Cairo on the international theatre map. The event is organized by the Ministry of Culture. For its first two decades, the festival ran over 10 days each September, attracting dozens of Arab and international troupes for awards — at its peak in the late 2000s, CIFET was hosting 40 to 50 performances across multiple venues in Cairo and beyond. The event was suspended for five years after the January 2011 revolution, before returning in 2016 under Sameh Mahran as its president. Renamed the Cairo International Festival for Contemporary and Experimental Theatre (CIFCET), it adopted a smaller programme, a shorter run, and dropped its competitive format. In 2020, during its 27th edition, the festival reverted to its original name and reinstated competition under the late theatre academic and playwright Alaa Abdel-Aziz. Mahran returned as CIFET president in 2023. The 32nd edition of CIFET will run from 1 to 8 September, with the full programme still to be announced.
