Carmen Bsaibes to Collab with Ahmed Ezz in New Film

Lebanese actress Carmen Bsaibes is collaborating with Egyptian actor Ahmed Ezz in a new film.

The film is scripted and directed by acclaimed director Sherif Arafa.

The project marks the second collaboration between the duo after the 2020 film “El Aref” (The knower).

The film also reunites Ezz with Arafa after previously working on 2019's "Al Mamar", and 2022's "Al Gareema”.

Principal photography is set to begin next November.

Ezz can be seen in the star-studded film  “Kira & El Gin”.

The cast also includes Karim Abdel Aziz, Hend Sabry, Sayed Ragab, Asma Abul Yazeid, Ahmed Malek, Huda El Mufti, Aly Kassem, and others.

Abdel Aziz portrays a doctor called Ahmed Abdel Hay, who goes by the nickname Ahmed Kira, a real person who was present during the occupation.

During the events, he meets with Abdel Qader Shehata Al-Gin (Ezz) and they become close friends and decide to team up against the British occupation.

The film is written by Ahmed Mourad, directed by Marwan Hamed, and produced by the Synergy Production company.

It is based on the 2014’s Egyptian historical fiction novel “1919” by Mourad.

The film is a thought-provoking, fast-paced, information-packed historical fiction set to the actual events of a significant era in Egypt’s history.

It recounts the life of Egyptians during the British occupation of Egypt from 1919 to 1924 and follows their resistance against the occupation.

The film also depicted the role of the Egyptian uprising through the lives of perse characters that include famous and obscure historical figures as well as fictional characters.
