It’s a nice, quiet morning for Egypt in the international press.

Star of critically acclaimed film Feathers and self-taught actor Damiana Nassar is the subject of a New York Times profile that also takes in the film’s reception at home and abroad.

On the human rights front, recently released Egyptian-Palestinian activist Ramy Shaath has spoken in a BBC interview on prison conditions.
