The management of the Port Said International Film Festival, headed by film critic Ahmed Assar, announced that it would organise a specialised workshop in screenwriting within the festival's first edition from 18 to 22 September 2025. Led by screenwriter Nasser Abdel-Rahman, the workshop, held for two days during the festival, aims to refine the skills of young writers and allow them to benefit from the expertise of renowned screenwriters in Egypt and the Arab world. Interested scriptwriters can apply via this link. The workshop will focus on three main pillars of screenwriting: the idea, the story, and the cinematic treatment. It will also cover character development and conclude with an exploration of time in cinema and how it can be used to support dramatic structure. Screenwriter Abdel-Rahman won the Locarno Festival Award for the film Al-Madina (The City, 2000) and the Best Screenplay Award from the Oran Festival in Algeria for the film Genainat El-Asmak (Fish Garden, 2008). Many of his other films were nominated for several international awards.

The Last of Us" Season 3 Release Window
Yara Sameh "The Last of Us" might be Emmy-nominated, but it'll take a while before the show graces HBO screens again. In a conversation with Variety , HBO CEO Casey Bloys dropped more information about "The Last of Us" future and how long it will take to adapt the rest of "The Last of Us Part II". "The series is definitely planned for 2027," Bloys said regarding season 3's release date, though he revealed showrunner Craig Mazin "is still working it out whether it will be two more seasons or one more long season. It hasn't been decided yet, and I'm following Craig's lead on that." Unlike the previous seasons, Mazin will be the sole showrunner going into season 3, with Neil Druckmann and writer Halley Gross -- who co-wrote Part II's story with Druckmann -- announcing they will step away from the show earlier this month. According to Bloys, this decision was a result of Druckmann having to prioritize his commitment as co-president of the game company Naughty Dog, stating, "A lot of people don't realize that Neil has a full time job creating video games and running Naughty Dog. It's a really big job that he's got. So I understand why he needs to focus on that. But I believe he's given us a good blueprint with the show. And obviously Craig is a pro, so I think we'll be in excellent shape. I'm not worried at all." Druckmann's next project is the upcoming sci-fi game "Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet," whose cast features "The Last of Us" Tati Gabrielle and Tony Dalton in lead and supporting roles. Compared to season 1's reception, "The Last of Us" season 2 earned more mixed-to-positive reviews, with notable criticism being directed at the later episodes' pacing and slight tweaks to how the story played out compared to its source material. Despite this, the series has been nominated for 16 awards at this year's Emmys, including Best Actor and Actress for Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey and multiple guest actor/actress nominations for its supporting cast. The show's nomination count was outdone by "Severance," "The Penguin," "The Studio," and "The White Lotus," with Apple TV+'s hit sci-fi thriller walking away with 27 nominations, "Penguin" getting 24, and "The Studio" and "The White Lotus" matching each other with 23. Keeping in line with Part II's big twist, "The Last of Us" ended with a dramatic confrontation between Ellie (Ramsey) and Joel's killer Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) before flashing back three days to revisit the season's back half from Abby's perspective. This will place the focus on not only Abby, but her WLF friends who assisted in tracking Joel down and their militia's leader Isaac, played again by game actor Jeffrey Wright. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream
