"The Sandman" to End with Extra Episode
Yara Sameh Netflix's adaptation of Neil Gaiman's ' The Sandman ' is still ending with Season 2, but fans will get one more episode than they believed. The giant streamer revealed on Tuesday that, in addition to the 11 episodes already announced, a bonus twelfth episode will be released on July 31. The bonus episode is titled 'The Sandman Presents: Death: The High Cost of Living' and will focus on the character Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste). As previously announced, the first six episodes of Season 2 will premiere on July 3, with the next five premiering on July 24. Netflix has also revealed the 11 titles for those episodes, which can be seen below. Season 2 will bring several fan-favorite storylines from the comics to life, including the 'Season of Mists,' 'Brief Lives,' 'The Kindly Ones,' and 'The Sandman: Overture' collections. The season will also include single-issue stories such as 'Tales in the Sand,' 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' 'The Song of Orpheus,' 'Thermidor,' and 'The Tempest,' among others. Per the description for the second and final chapter of 'The Sandman,' 'After a fateful reunion with his family, Dream of the Endless (Tom Sturridge) must face one impossible decision after another as he attempts to save himself, his kingdom, and the waking world from the epic fallout of his past misdeeds. To make amends, Dream must confront longtime friends and foes, gods, monsters, and mortals. But the path to forgiveness is full of unexpected twists and turns, and true absolution may cost Dream everything. Based on the beloved award-winning DC comic series, the second season of 'The Sandman' will tell Dream's story arc in full to its thrilling conclusion.' The cast for Season 2 also includes Mason Alexander Park, Donna Preston, Esmé Creed-Miles, Adrian Lester, Barry Sloane, Patton Oswalt, Vivienne Acheampong, Gwendoline Christie, Jenna Coleman, Ferdinand Kingsley, Stephen Fry, Asim Chaudhry, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Razane Jammal, Ruairi O'Connor, Freddie Fox, Clive Russell, Laurence O'Fuarain, Ann Skelly, Douglas Booth, Jack Gleeson, Indya Moore, and Steve Coogan. Netflix and 'The Sandman' showrunner Allan Heinberg had plotted the second season to be the final since before it was filmed in the summer of 2023. However, the streamer did not confirm the end of the show until January of this year, which coincided with the timing of sexual misconduct accusations leveled against 'The Sandman' graphic novel author and series executive producer Neil Gaiman.

Ferkesh Live: Egyptian Music Video Directors on Visual Storytelling
Ferkesh Live: Egyptian Music Video Directors on Visual Storytelling SceneNoise and Mazra'a Network, in collaboration with Red Bull, kicked off the first edition of Ferkesh [Live] at the French Institute in Mounira. The event brought together a focused circle of filmmakers, directors, and artists to reflect on the visual direction of Egypt's music scene—how it's being shaped, and who's shaping it. At the core of the evening was a panel discussion moderated by Youssef Mansour (founder and director of Mazra'a Network for Art and Culture). Directors Marwan Tarek, Mazen Bayoumi, and Zeina Aref broke down their working methods, revealing a process that's often less about chasing spectacle and more about negotiating form, limitations, and intent. Marwan Tarek, whose credits include El Waili and Kaim Osama's Nazlet Seman, described his approach with quiet clarity: the music comes finished, and the video builds from there. 'In music videos, it's different,' he said. 'I treat the track like a script. The artist has already completed their creative process, the sound is locked. So the question becomes: how do you see the track?' For Tarek, directing isn't just interpretation, it's construction. 'If you gave the same track to five different directors, you'd get five entirely different videos.' A cinematographer by training, Mazen Bayoumi, who's shot videos for Nour (Nogoum, Wana), Dirty Backseat, and Felukah, Bayoumi doesn't always begin with a concept, sometimes he just puts the track on loop and waits for it to unlock something. 'You listen and listen until images start showing up,' he said. 'Sometimes it's a flicker, sometimes it's a dead end. But one day, you hear it differently. And that version, that hearing, that's the one that sticks.' For Bayoumi, ideas aren't found so much as tripped over. Then there's Zeina Aref, a multidisciplinary artist, photographer, and director, who describes a slightly more grounded but no less poetic view of the process. Her collaborations with Ma-Beyn and Massar Egbari often feel stitched together with raw fabric: grainy, intimate, unvarnished. 'My favorite part is the craft,' she said. 'The early dreaming phase, building the story, drawing it out with the team.' But then, like a sudden cut to static: the budget hits. 'And all our ambitions get thrown in the trash.' You could hear the collective exhale from the crowd, filmmakers know this beat too well. And yet, Aref insists that these limitations don't just destroy dreams, they reshape them. 'That part where everyone's ideas meet the real world? That's where the actual magic can happen. If it's going to work, it has to work there.'

Alvin Drops Nostalgic Trap EP 'Zy Zaman'
On the two-track EP, the Egyptian rapper is on a mission to find his own sound. Jun 04, 2025 Egyptian rapper Alvin has recently released a two-track trap EP, 'Zy Zaman', a byproduct of his international quest for a fresh, accessible sound and self-discovery. The EP was born out of hours of consuming music and observing the latest releases of his contemporaries in the rap scene, from which he was inspired to step out of his comfort zone and playfully experiment with various musical styles and influences to test his limits. 'I am still trying to figure out how I want to be perceived, and what sound I want to continue with in the future,'Alvin tells SceneNoise. 'So, this EP was more of an experimentation, in which I tried to make more accessible songs that are easy on the ears.' On 'Yarab Nerg3 Zy Zaman', Alvin flexes his writing skills through contemplative verses, reflecting on the unhealthy competitive nature of the rap game. The catchy hooks on the chorus underscore a wishful thinking as he reminisces about a bygone era, one when rappers used to uplift and empower instead of tearing each other down. Meanwhile, on 'Kam Mara', he is more singing than rapping, presenting a refreshing aspect of his vocal abilities coupled with melodic flows.
