Wessam's Dark Deeds Get the Devil's Applause in Lam Shamseya
Wessam doomed Rabab twice—first by being a harasser, then by abandoning her to a tragic end when she took her own life.
While the devil claps for his cruelty, we cheer the brilliant performances of Mohamed Chahine and Yosra El Lozy.
The series has been widely praised for tackling the critical issue of child abuse and harassment, sparking public conversation with its powerful storytelling.
From the very first episode, Lam Shamseya set the stage for its central themes, introducing key characters and family dynamics. One major revelation? Amina Khalil's character, Nelly, is not Youssef's biological mother but his stepmother—yet her love for him knows no bounds. She stands by him fiercely, ready to shield him from harm at any cost.
Written by Mariam Naoum, directed by Karim El-Shenawy, and produced by Media Hub – Saadi & Gohar, Lam Shamseya features a stellar cast, including Amina Khalil, Ahmed El-Saadany, Mohamed Shahin, Yosra El Lozy, Tharaa Goubail, Aseel Omran, Safaa El-Toukhy, and Yasmina El-Abd.
Amina Khalil takes on the role of Nelly, a devoted kindergarten teacher at an international school, married to Tarek (Ahmed El-Saadany). She has a five-year-old son, Yassin, and also helps raise Youssef, Tarek's nine-year-old son from a previous marriage—forming a blended family dynamic that lies at the heart of the series.

Red Sea Film Foundation Gala to Honour Women in Cinema at Cannes
During the 77th Cannes Film Festival, the Red Sea Film Foundation and Vanity Fair Europe will host the Women in Cinema Gala, celebrating groundbreaking women in Arab, African, and Asian cinema. The Red Sea Film Foundation, in partnership with Vanity Fair Europe, is set to host the third edition of its Women in Cinema Gala during the 77th Cannes Film Festival. Scheduled to take place at the prestigious Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap d'Antibes, the event will celebrate influential women filmmakers and creatives from the Arab world, Africa, and Asia. This year's honourees include Egyptian actress Amina Khalil, Zambian-Welsh director Rungano Nyoni, Sri Lankan actress Jacqueline Fernandez, Saudi actress Elham Ali, Thai artist Engfa Waraha, Syrian filmmaker Gaya Jiji, and Saudi actress and artist Sarah Taibah. The gala aims to spotlight their contributions to cinema and the wider creative industries, recognising their role in expanding representation and storytelling across cultures. The Women in Cinema Gala has emerged as a key moment on the Cannes calendar, drawing attention to voices historically underrepresented in the global film landscape. Organised by the Red Sea Film Foundation—which is based in Saudi Arabia and backs regional filmmaking through the Red Sea International Film Festival and year-round industry support—the initiative aligns with broader efforts to foster diversity, inclusion, and cross-cultural dialogue in the arts. The Women in Cinema Gala is scheduled to take place during Cannes, which runs from May 14th to the 25th.
