'The Seal of the Prophets' banned in EgyptThe head of the Egyptian censorship department, Mr. Madkour Thabet, has issued an urgent order demanding all screening venues in Egypt to cancel the preview of the cartoon movie “Mohammed Khatam Al Mursaleen” (Mohammed The Seal of the Prophets).The Qatari daily, Al Raya newspaper has reported that the order also included the omission of some scenes where Muslims appear in the look of Pharos, breaking Kuraish idols. “Allowing such scenes will create a trend that might lead to the spreading of backward ideas such as the one adopted by former Taliban movement in Afghanistan, and which sparked the well known Buddha Statues crisis,” Thabet said. Earlier in September, the Egyptian Islamic Research Academy, headed by Sheikh Said Agour, has sent a letter to the censorship authority objecting the appearance of Prophet Mohammed’s uncle, Hamza, and giving a list of names of Islamic symbols banned from screening or hearing in any work. For its part, the movie’s production company has explained that “Mohammed Khatam al Mursaleen” was screened on several TV satellite channels and in many international festivals without the omission of any scenes. The 15- minutes movie depicts the period of the emergence of Islam in the Arabian Peninsula and all the events following till the consolidation of the message in al Madina al Munawara. - d79aac.com ‘Jahim Taht Al Ard’ Screenings Planned for China, Morocco and SpainThe movie “Jahim Tahet Al Ard” (Underground Hell), costarring Samir Sabri, Raghda and Kamal Al Shinnawi, will represent Egypt in several international festivalsBig Shots Feather Their Own Nests in ‘Ahlam Al Kharif’Egyptian censors have given the green light for work on the film Ahlam Al Kharif (Autumn Dreams), written by Wahid Hamed and directed by Sharif A’rafah.‘Mohammed Khatam Alanbiyaa’ Brings Life of the Prophet to ChildrenIn an unprecedented move, the Azhar Committee has approved the screening of the film Mohammed Khatam Al Anbiyaa (Mohammed the Last Prophet),8- Pay It ForwardTagline: Sometimes the simplest idea can make the biggest difference.Based on a novel by ‘Bawwabat Al Halawani’ Episodes in English and FrenchThe Production Sector has decided to translate the episodes of “Bawwabat Al Halawani” (Halawani Gateway) episodes into French and EnglishUma Leaves Ben Chaplin ColdA surprise at any hot-blooded male; Uma Thurman is actually capable of NOT attracting someone… namely, Ben Chaplin. |
