…and Egypt is a country that is at PEACE with Israel!!! They won’t even let a film made by an Israeli director be shown at a festival in Cairo. The film has nothing to do, whatsoever, with Israel, Jews or Judaism, but the fact that an Israeli was involved in making it is enough to ban it from Egypt. It’s about a 12-year-old boy searching for his birthday, for crying out loud!
Intellectual freedom at its best…
A true international exchange of culture…
If there is such hatred present in countries with whom Israel is at peace…can you imagine the depth of this evil in Israel’s enemies?

Cairo

Israeli film removed from Egypt festival

According to Ennahar Online, a short film has been deprogrammed from a film festival in Cairo after an Egyptian jury member protested against the fact that the director is Israeli.

The short film, directed by Keren Ben Rafael, is titled “Almost Normal” and tells the story of a 12-year-old boy searching for his birthday.

It was to be shown in a film festival organized by the French Cultural Center in Cairo and the National Center for Egyptian Cinema, but withdrawn after Egyptian director Atef Ahmed protested its inclusion.

Though he resigned his post as a board member of the festival “Rencontres de l’Image”, scheduled for April, the CFCC and services of the Embassy of France also decided not to reinstate him in the jury.
