Started my film club 11 years ago. It went from 50 members to 22 thousand. We use to be packed almost 500 guests at each screening during our knowledge village auditorium days. So nostalgic for those years. This time I sit by myself switching sides preparing for my first feature.
Only 10 films were directed by women out of 100 last year. Reasons behind this imbalance.

Toronto will always hold a special place in my life. Ryerson grad :) great place to study film - hence knowing that today The Shadow was just selected by Toronto Shorts International Film Festival via means a lot !

To 257 committed individuals who've worked tirelessly, despite less-than-ideal timing and daily guilt. But let's not forget our resolute 3-year journey. Kudos to all for our film's route to the Red Sea Film Festival with the finest storytellers.

الخلل في شركات الكاساتنح. مثال أنا عندي فلم سينمائي طويل ومستحيل أستعين بشركات الكاساتنح لعدم وجود وجوه جديدة وارقام الاماراتيين فيه ضئيلة. هاي شركات خاصه ويتصرفون حسب السوق الإعلاني والتجاري وليس الثقافي. بغض النظر كان حدث راقي وعالمي بس أزمة الكاساتنح دعوة الممثلين فيها نقص.
