Egyptian film ‘Happy Birthday' takes top honors at Tribeca Film Festival

DUBAI: Egyptian film 'Happy Birthday,' the debut feature by writer-director Sarah Goher, this week took two of the international festival's top honors — for best international narrative feature and for best screenplay. A post shared by Mohamed Diab (@diabmohamed10) The film, which stars Nelly Karim, Hanan Motawie, Hanan Youssef and Doha Ramadan, tells the story of Toha, an eight-year-old girl working as a child maid for a wealthy family in Cairo. She forms a close bond with the family's daughter, Nelly, and becomes determined to give her the perfect birthday — something Toha herself has never experienced. As her connection with Nelly's mother begins to blur the lines of class and duty, Toha is forced to confront the stark social hierarchies of modern Egypt. Goher co-wrote the film with acclaimed Egyptian director Mohamed Diab, internationally recognized for Marvel's 'Moon Knight.' Diab also took on the role of executive producer.

Mohamed Ramadan, Ahmed Dash Reunite in Film "Assad"

Yara Sameh Ahmed Dash and Mohamed Ramadan are teaming up again on Mohamed Diab's historical action thriller film "Assad". Maged El Kedwany, Khaled Elsawy, Razane Jammal, ‎and Aly Kassem are also on board to star. Mohamed Diab directs from a script he co-wrote with Sherine Diab and Khaled Diab. "Assad" is set in 1280 AD in the Mamluk era and features Ramadan portraying Ali bin Muhammad Al-Farsi, who is sold in the slave market and later leads the revolution against the Abbasid army. It reunites Ramadan with Dash for the third time after working together on the 2023 TV series " Gaafar El Omda " and the 2020 TV series " Al Prince ". Ramadan previously said that the film took three years to prepare for, and because of it, he didn't make any new TV series due to the film's complexity and time frame. "Assad" marks the actor's second foray into the historical genre, after starring in 2017's "The Treasure" and its follow-up, 2019's "The Treasure 2: Love and Destiny", both directed by Sherif Arafa. 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 Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies
