’s Industry Days wrapped Tuesday on a high note, with several Arabic film projects emerging as standouts of its co-production platform.
Shahad Ameen’s feminist fable “Scales,” which had its Middle East launch in Cairo after world-premiering in Venice.The panels focused on such topics as gender-based violence in Egyptian film and TV, moderated by Sandra De Castro Buffington, founding director of UCLA’s Global Media Center for Social Impact, and the more nuts-and-bolts question “Is There Life After Co-production?,” moderated by Egyptian-American producer Dina Emam.
“Europa,” which is produced by Rashid’s Radical Plans shingle and is now in post-production, won the $50,000 OSN Award in Cairo just as it was also scoring a prize at the Milano Industry Days in Italy. Rashid’s previous films include “It’s About to Rain” and VR short “No Borders,” which went to Venice in 2016.
