Egyptian short film Nesma.
The Egyptian short film Nesma will have its world premiere at the Hollywood Arab Film Festival.
This marks the world premiere of the film, directed by Rahaf Ahmed Adel, with a story and screenplay by Alia Ibrahim.
The film is produced and distributed by Ambient Light (Ali El Arabi), with Tarek Al Naameh as executive producer.
Shortly after her caregiver passed, Nesma, 12 years old, is forced to live life as her, tricking people into believing that she is alive; to avoid returning to the orphanage. All is well until the orphanage calls for Nesma's routine check-in.
The film stars young actress Habiba Sami and has received a grant from the "Manassat" Film Festival. It also took part in the Short Film Market at El Gouna Film Festival 2024.
