Create Production brings Vox Cinemas' sonic identity to life with Hans Zimmer
Create Production has joined forces with Majid Al Futtaim Entertainment to unveil Fall in Love with Film, Vox Cinemas' latest brand film that signals a new chapter for the region's premier cinema operator. The cinematic tribute, released in celebration of Vox Cinemas' 25th anniversary, is underscored by an original score and sonic identity created by legendary composer Hans Zimmer. The emotionally rich film is a love letter to the power of cinema, weaving together themes of love, community, and escapism. At its heart is the story of a young boy growing up with the cinema as his lifelong companion. The narrative is brought to life by Zimmer's evocative score, blending Hollywood-style orchestration with 90s nostalgia and Arabic musical elements. As part of Vox's broader 'experience-first' strategy to reconnect with audiences, Create Production oversaw the entire creative process, from script development to full-scale production across eight regional markets. The campaign produced more than 85 assets in a variety of languages, formats, and platforms, ranging from IMAX screens to social media reels. Create also led localisation efforts across four languages and dialects, ensuring cultural resonance throughout the region. Muhammad Ashraf, Senior Producer at Create Production, said: 'Working alongside the Vox Cinemas team to develop a film worthy of Hans Zimmer's signature sound was a true privilege. We set out to craft a narrative that celebrates Vox's magic and elevates the region's sonic identity.' The brand film is currently screening in Vox Cinemas across the Middle East, with additional distribution on digital platforms, social media, and out-of-home advertising. The custom sonic branding developed for the campaign will continue to roll out throughout 2025, becoming an integral part of the Vox experience—from cinema lobbies to customer service interactions. This project adds to Create Production's portfolio of landmark regional campaigns, continuing its track record of high-profile collaborations, including previous work with Zimmer and large-scale productions across the Middle East.

Resilient indie cinema thriving in Cairo
Zawya: A resilient perspective Zawya, meaning "perspective" in Arabic, has weathered the storm of Egypt's economic upheavals, championing a more artistic approach from the historical heart of the country's golden age of cinema. Founded during the post-revolutionary artistic fervor of the 2011 uprising that toppled longtime president Hosni Mubarak, Zawya embodies the creative energy that surged during that time. The Challenge of Commercial dominance Despite Egypt's reputation as the Hollywood of the Arab world, the domestic industry has largely been restricted to crowd-pleasing blockbusters. Filmmaker Maged Nader notes that the industry operates solely on commercial logic, leaving little room for independent filmmakers. Yet, Zawya has carved out a niche, supported by its parent company, Misr International Films, founded by Egyptian cinematic giant Youssef Chahine. A home for young talent For Zawya's founder, Youssef Shazli, the cinema serves "films that don't fit into traditional theatres." Young cinephiles, like 24-year-old actress Lujain, describe it as "home." Since 2014, Zawya's programming has included local and international short films, documentaries, and feature films, fostering a passionate community. Its annual short film festival has become a crucial platform for emerging directors. Supporting filmmakers Zawya's supportive environment encourages filmmakers. For example, self-taught filmmaker Mostafa Gerbeii praised the cinema for providing a free hall for his first film shoot, significantly reducing his costs. Cinema manager Mohamed Said emphasizes that Zawya has inspired more people to produce films by offering a venue for their work to be seen. A legacy of artistic tradition Zawya stands as the 21st-century heir to Cairo's long artistic tradition, located on Emad al-Din Street, an area rich with historic theatres and cabarets. Despite the vibrant artistic culture, Zawya faces challenges from Egypt's pervasive censorship laws, which require all films to pass state scrutiny before screening. The future of filmmaking in Egypt Shazli reflects on the abundance of talent surrounding Zawya but questions whether there are sufficient opportunities for these emerging filmmakers. "Around Zawya, there's a lot of talent—but are there as many opportunities as there is talent? That's the real issue we need to address," he says.
