Girls' Talk in Regent Park Film Festival


Girls' Talk was screened in Regent Park Film Festival in Toronto, Canada in November 2011. The great thing was that was the first time for me to get some money from screening any of my work. I got a check of $50 and I've decided to keep it as a souvenir of the 1st amount of money I've ever made from filmmaking :)

DOX BOX 2011


DOX BOX is the first Independent International Documentary Film Festival in Syria. I was lucky enough to be part of its 4th edition that took place between the 1st and 10th of March in Damascus. I had some training sessions with Arab & international industry professionals such as established & experienced producers, filmmakers, distributers, festivals' representatives and TV commissioning editors among others. It was really great to meet people from Sundance, Rotterdam, Abu Dhabi Film Festivals, European Documentary Network (EDN), Arab Fund for Arts and Culture (AFAC) and many others. Also I've met some great filmmakers who became very dear friends to me and to watch some great documentary films during the festival I could not have watched else where beside of course discovering the beauty of the city Damascus :)

Girls' Talk in LES Film Festival in NYC


My short fiction film "Girls' Talk" is now being screened in "LES film festival" in for independent films with budget under $30,000 in NYC in USA. It was screened in the opening night on February 8th and will be screened again in the nternational night on February 23rd :) Here is the festival's film schedule.


The film's budget was theoretically about L.E 3000 which is about $500 but since it was made during the filmmaking workshop in Jesuits Cultural Center that I attended, I had to shoot it inside the building so I didn't pay anything for renting the place or the camera or the light equipment that i used none of. I did all the editing with "Mahmoud El Soghiar" in my laptop so I didn't pay for it either. The only thing I had to pay for was the ties and one blue shirt for "Radwa" and I borrowed the other one for "Dalia Samir" from my dad :) I had also to pay only for a hard paper to paint it and stick it on the door and write on it, so the total actual budget was about L.E 100 which is around $20 :)

Support "Girls' Talk"

I have sent my film "Girls' Talk" to the online film festival "Women's Voices Now".


The film was chosen for round 2 in the festival so if you like it you can support it by voting in the following link:
It was very exciting for me to find it randomly in a web site announcing the festival:
It was even more exciting to find coincidently the film being screened in LA in USA in a random photo on the internet from the festival's facebook group :) I just wonder what were the people's opinions about it.
