How easy it is to wear an elegant outfit and flaunt your stars in front of the cameras on the red carpet, talk regarding your achievements, wave to fans, and how easy it is for a festival to be born here and another there just because there is a huge budget, financiers, art lovers and nightlife… But these festivals are born distorted, shining and exciting. Noise, but it does not produce flour, and does not satiate the “real” art people.
We waited for the birth of the Cairo Drama Festival, with a hand on the heart, for fear that it would be affected by any defect, or an epidemic that affected the distorted festivals, despite our confidence in its president, the great artist Dr. Yahya Al-Fakharani, the head of its jury, director Inaam Muhammad Ali, and all those in charge of it, and the arbitrators; So, the birth is normal, and the newborn is healthy and beautiful from its first appearance. He tries to surround the drama people with his arms, to say thank you.
The Cairo Drama Festival surprised us with all this credibility in the choices and awards that went only to those who deserve it, which reflects the consensus between the arbitrators, the festival management, critics and the public.. Everyone who won an award carried it well, and we are not surprised to be surprised with this amount of credibility at a time when it has become Festivals are just social occasions in which art people meet and show off their beauty and fashion, while prizes are distributed to “lovers” and to please so-and-so (and so-and-so and so-and-so).
This festival is distinguished with everything in it, and it became more distinguished by honoring artists who “left an unforgettable mark in the history of Arab drama” for a number of actors of second roles. mastery in it when any artistic and dramatic work is completed; And it ended with honoring the stars in the drama, headed by the Almighty Salah Al-Saadani, who is longed for by the audience, and has all the love and appreciation for him. And the creative author Muhammad Jalal Abdul Qawi, the great director Jamal Abdul Hamid, and the late producer and scriptwriter Mamdouh Al-Leithi, and a special tribute to two distinguished series that came out of the competition cycle “The Choice” and “The Returnees.”
Author Abd al-Rahim Kamal, director Kamila Abu Zekry, actor Ahmed Amin, star Menna Shalaby, actor in a second role Riad al-Khouli, rising actor Nour Khaled al-Nabawi and rising actress Rahma Ahmed, the series “Ghamm Island” and his team of decor and photography .. They all deserved to win. .
