The final installment of our Egyptian cinema series dives into a 25-year stretch of transformation, turbulence, and tenacity.

From digital disruption and revolution to censorship, economic collapse, and global streaming deals, this episode follows the rise of a new kind of filmmaker — one who builds with less, dreams bigger, and survives on grit.

🎬 Featuring:

• The making of The Yacoubian Building and The Square

• The impact of Netflix and Shahid on local production

• The collapse of box office revenue post-2023

• Why directors like Ayten Amin and Amr Salama matter more than ever
