Two Egyptian films to debut at Berlin International Film Festival

Two Egyptian films are set to make their festival debuts at this year’s Berlinale: Souad — a 2020 film about two sisters in a Delta City directed by Ayten Amin — will premiere in the festival’s panorama section, while Seven Years Around the Delta — a five and a half hour documentary/travel film shot after 2011 by Sharief Zohairy — will screen as part of the festival’s Forum Expanded lineup. The festival will hold online screenings from 1-5 March, and will hold in-person screenings over the summer from 9-20 June.
