Saudi actress Fatima Al-Banawi's ‘Basma' to screen in Brazil
DUBAI: Saudi actress Fatima Al-Banawi's film 'Basma' is set to screen in Brazil on Thursday. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @ Al-Banawi shared the announcement on Instagram, posting the official poster, which revealed that the film will screen in Sao Paulo at Estudio Lamina, a local cultural center. 'Basma,' which premiered on Netflix in June, marks Al-Banawi's debut as a feature film director. She also wrote the screenplay, contributed an original song to the soundtrack, and stars in the lead role. The film follows a young Saudi woman who returns to her hometown of Jeddah after two years studying in the US, only to discover that her parents have divorced without telling her. The story explores her emotional reckoning with the past, including her father's mental illness and the impact it had on the family. The role of her father, Dr. Adly, is played by Yasir Al-Sasi. A post shared by فاطِــمَة البـنَوي (@fatima_albanawi) As she reconnects with her family, Basma is distraught to learn that her beloved father has moved out — and worse, that most of the family are, at best, reluctant to visit him. Convinced that all he needs is the love and care of his loved ones, she decides to move in with him, defying the advice of her mother, Hind (Shaima), brother Waleed (Tared Sindi), and uncle Hamza (Mohammed Essam). But the reunion is far from smooth. 'The most important element was to create a believable, cohesive family. That was one of the main issues,' Al-Banawi previously told Arab News. 'The second thing was that — although I recognize that a lot of amazing actors and actresses have (emerged in Saudi Arabia) in the past couple of years — as a director, I wanted to see fresh faces. It's beautiful to see these talents who weren't given a chance before, or didn't even see themselves taking this path. Honestly, this whole cast was a blessing.' Al-Banawi first gained prominence for her role in the 2016 drama 'Barakah Meets Barakah.' She also starred in the Egyptian Netflix series 'Paranormal.' In 2020, she directed her first short film, 'Until We See Light.' That same year, she co-wrote, co-directed and starred in 'Al-Shak,' a Shahid Original series, which she shot fully from home during the pandemic.

Al-Nassr Coach Praises Team after Advancing to Saudi Super Cup Final
Al-Nassr coach Jorge Jesus has praised his side's resilience and tactical discipline following the club's qualification for the final of the Saudi Super Cup football tournament after defeating Al-Ittihad Club 2–1 in the semifinal match held in Hong Kong. Sadio Mane was sent off, but his early goal and a second-half strike from new signing Joao Felix secured a 2–1 win over Al-Ittihad in a tense semi-final on Tuesday. "We fully deserved the win," Jesus said. "The team was tactically very well organized, especially after Mane's dismissal." "We played more than 70 minutes without Mane, who is a key player both in attack and defense. Despite that, our structure held firm," he stated. Jesus, who took charge of Al-Nassr in July, said he was pleased with the team's progress given the short preparation time. "I have only had 25 days with the squad - not a full season. There is still a lot to fix, and 25 days isn't enough," he said. "The match was physically demanding, especially with the high humidity and playing a man down, but we came through with a fantastic win that boosts our confidence heading into the final." Al-Nassr advanced to the final, where they will face the winner of the second semi between Al-Qadsiah and Al-Ahli on Wednesday.
