The activities of the Locarno Film Festival will witness the premiere of the restored version of the movie “Gate of the Sun”, directed by Yousry Nasrallah, on August 7, provided that the premiere in Egypt is within the activities of the Cairo Film Festival, next November.
Yousry Nasrallah praised the screening of his movie “Gate of the Sun” in the next session of the Cairo Film Festival, following its restoration, 19 years following its premiere.
Nasrallah said, “I am very happy with the stage of showing the film, especially since the copies that were shown on Arab stations were subject to censorship, and many scenes were deleted from them.”
The “Locarno” festival screened several films by director Yousry Nasrallah, including “Mercedes”, “Sons, Girls and the City” and “Water, Greenery and the Beautiful Face”, where he twice participated in the jury.
The story of the film revolves around Khalil, who tells the Palestinian activist Younis, who lives in a coma, the story of his love that brought him together since childhood with the daughter of his village in Hebron, Nahla, before and following the Israeli invasion.
