although it contains some cliches, ana hurra effectively puts forward social issues that still need to be addressed in a society that continues to struggle in finding both freedom and its meaning .
as a storytelling group, ana el hekaya continue to weaves stories from old fabrics thought to have been past their prime, and bring them back in surprising new colours and shades .
the group first began work on naguib mahfouz’s palace walk, which has become iconic with its characters el sayed ahmed abdel gawad and his wife amina. next, they selected taha hussein’s do’aa el karawan, which tackles honour killing. then they read al haraam by yousef idris and ana horra by ehsan abdel qudous. the stories produced in the workshops are witty and creative from a unique perspective; some of them were published in a special feature in akhbar al youm newspaper .
ana horra is an egyptian drama movie directed by salah abu seif. the film, which is an adaptation of ihsan abdel quddous’ novel, follows the story of amina (lobna abdel aziz), a young egyptian woman living with her exceedingly conservative aunt and uncle, who struggles to break free from an oppressive male - dominated society. she stands up to her family as they try to force her into an arranged marriage at a very young age, and fights for her right to pursue an education .
salah abu seif’s 1958 production ana hurra (i am free) was definitely ahead of its time. but then again so was the ihsan abdel quddous novel it was based on, published in 1952 .
launching in 2009 with the core group of the four writers, ana el hekaya flourished as its members increased, and they performed in several venues. the core group asked about twenty new women to join ana el hekaya, all of whom have different professions, some have a background in writing and others don’t. their first and major project in 2009 was to read major works of egyptian literature that have influenced our society, and write their own stories from a feminist and personal point of view .
ana horra is one of the great movies of a woman’s fight to gain freedom. in this movie, amina, who is played by lobna abdel aziz, is a young girl who was raised by her aunt to respect the societal restraints on women, but she refuses to follow them, and demands to live freely by her own rules. so she goes to college and gets involved in politics, which put her in jail. that’s what makes her realize that freedom is much wider than what she has always hoped for. throughout her journey, amina discovers that the ultimate freedom in which she wants to live is to be free as an individual in a free democratic country .
believing that art is the best way to carry a message, and reviving a very old egyptian tradition, the founders of ana el hekaya (i am the story) began writing and telling tales with qalat el raweya (the female storyteller said), a project initiated with the women and memory forum .
ana el hekaya has performed in important cultural venues such as beit el seheimy and the cairo opera house in celebration of international woman’s day in 2010. they have also conducted several workshops with young writers of both genders and performed the stories from these workshops in november 2010, which was directed by caroline khalil .
as the music from eman salaheddin’s oud and the other instrumentalists introduced the first storyteller; one by one, the members of ana el hekaya took the stage to tell their stories. the original storytellers were joined by younger members and they all told stories of egyptian women in our current times showing strength and resilience. humour, sadness and shocking elements are mixed with the lives of the characters in their stories .
ana el hekaya held a workshop for young writers and bloggers at the end of 2009. with these young men and women, they read case studies about egyptian women and stories by feminist writers, after which the young writers wrote their own stories. the second part of the workshop took place in the summer of 2010 with a selection of writers from the first workshop. more reading of cases and writing of stories followed .
in early 2009, four of these storytellers formed their own group, ana el hekaya to further explore feminism and storytelling. the four are mona ibrahim, professor of poetry at cairo university and editor in chief of tiba, sahar el mougy, novelist, columnist and professor of poetry at cairo university and soha raafat, professor of novel at helwan university as well as seham saneya abdel salam, an anthropologist, translator and actress. they are also joined by eman salaheddin, a musician and composer .

i am free has a strong thematic focus on freedom. it also touches upon the feminist discourse emerging at the dawn of the gamal abdel nasser era and the new social dynamics that came with it .
set in the years leading up to the 1952 revolution, i am free starts with protagonist amina (lubna abdel aziz) standing on a balcony, in her school uniform, looking at young men in the street making comments about her. her aunt comes out and yells at her for making a scene .
amina lives with her aunt and uncle, who are conservative, controlling parents to her and her cousin (hassan youssef), thwarting his dream to be a violinist .
amina’s whole struggle is to be free. she wants to do what she wants and be free of her conservative society. during the first half, her biggest aim is to go to university (higher education was not common for women then) and work to be financially independent .
i am free is also a joy to watch, with its visually descriptive scenes: when amina strolls happily through downtown cairo, having skipped school, for example, or when she plays music with her cousin. both scenes are shot beautifully, with acting that accurately transmits the rebellious struggle for freedom of a generation trying to challenge their conservative upbringings .
i am free is divided into four chapters separated by amina’s dreams. in these dreams she is met with her conscience, represented by a man’s voice. the image is captivating: a silhouette of amina in the middle of the frame with a spotlight behind her as she struggles with her thoughts .
in the first dream she is confronted by what freedom is, and decides to rebel against her family and do as she pleases with no care for the consequences .
the first chapter is shot in two contrasting ways. when she is home, the camera is close to the characters placing them firmly in the frame. while when amina is out on her own with friends, she is filmed from a distance, allowing more breathing room. this contrast helps us feel for her as the plot develops .
when amina takes control over her life, her reputation takes a nosedive in the neighborhood, with everyone talking about how improper she is. in one scene, she confronts the women with how hypocritical they are, saying she at least has the courage to do what she wants .
in a series of encounters, amina proves she is a strong character who is unwilling to compromise her rebellious nature, in a way so firm it is almost spoon - fed to the viewer. but the social double standards toward women she speaks of continue to this day .
in the second chapter, she has obtained her freedom but spends most of her time partying. realising she needs to take responsibility for the freedom she’s earned, she then starts studying hard and succeeds with high grades .
the film highlights the patriarchal society of the time in several scenes, but one part in particular stays with me: although she’s against marriage she agrees to meet a suitor and is taken by his intellect and interest in culture. quickly he starts to tell her how to dress and that she does not need an education, however, so she leaves him .
at this point her dream conscience confronts her on marriage. while her biggest fear is to be trapped and enslaved by a husband, her conscience brings her attention to ideas of sacrifice and understanding .
this is the point when amina’s definition of freedom is questioned, and when the film starts to conform to contemporary standards of cinema and society, diverting from its striking content on freedom. but we don’t get a full sense of this dismissal of all her earlier struggles until the last chapter .
when she’s moved in with her father and starts working in marketing for a petroleum company, it’s surprising and impressive to see the focus shift from her freedom as a woman in a conservative society to the freedom of an employee in a large company, a more gender - neutral issue .
surrounded by signs saying “your time belongs to the company” and “no personal phone calls during work hours, ” she is forced by her employer to take work home and has no time to enjoy the freedom she worked so hard for .
abdel aziz does a good job portraying both amina’s pride at having achieved her goal and her simultaneous frustration at the trap she is in. her father, played by mohamed abdel quddous (the writer’s off - screen father), also adds a strong comedic sense here, so it succeeds both in its message and in entertaining .
the fourth chapter is the weakest part of an otherwise profound and enjoyable film. her conscience tells her to find a cause to utilize her freedom for, to compensate for the emptiness she feels. instead of being true to herself, though, she follows her love interest (shoukry sarhan) in his political activism against british colonialism .
the shortcomings of the finale are in part due to the story taking a non - feminist turn, but also because both sarhan’s over - the - top acting and the progression of the script (by naguib mahfouz) into the relationship fail to follow the tactfully presented themes of the rest of the film .
in spite of this deterioration, what’s really striking about this film is its depth in tackling the subject at hand. it’s philosophical, with a moving story tackling women’s emancipation, conservationism, workers’ rights and the freedom of an entire nation from colonialism .
abu seif made film adaptations of several of abdel quddous’ novels during this period, resulting in al - wesada al - khalya (the empty pillow, 1957), la anam (i don’t sleep, 1956) and al - banat wal seif (girls and the summer, 1960). though not as progressive as i am free, all had female characters in the lead role .
but both abu seif’s and abdel quddous’ other works also tend to focus on women as leading the story. the same can be said for abu seif’s al - zouga al - thanya (the second wife, 1967) and shabab emra’a (a woman’s youth, 1956), as well as abdel quddous’ al - nadara al - sawdaa (the black sunglasses, film 1963) and embratoreyet meem (empire of m, 1972) .

the greatest movies usually present a powerful story that inspires us to be better people. with some of the most inspiring female characters who faced social challenges, broke norms, and were great role models, here are some great egyptian movies that left a unique mark in history .
the open door, released in 1963, is a revolutionary movie that represented the egyptian woman taking empowering roles in society. it all started with laila, who challenged the outdated norms of her society, which restricts her to being a housewife, while men are destined to be free and express themselves through work. she believed that she could create success in both home and work, but couldn’t fully express her thoughts due to suppression from her dad and her fiancé. meanwhile, she meets her brother’s revolutionary friend, hussein, who proves that not all men are like her father, which encourages her to start a journey to discover herself. played by the great actress faten hamama, laila decides to leave her fiancé and travels with hussein to pursue her dreams. this is the first movie to show egyptian women joining protests and revolting against injustice. expressing her ideas and beliefs, discovering herself and going on an adventure to prove herself, laila opened the door for egyptian women to freedom and empowerment .
this is the story of esmat, played by the great actress shadya, who gets promoted at the same company where her husband works and becomes his manager. the husband feels proud of her and encourages her to succeed in her new post, but then his enthusiasm decreases as he discovers that she treats him differently at work than she does at home. the movie comes as a surprise as it breaks the norms of having the wife in a higher position than the husband. it also presents a unique role model of the hard working woman who succeeds in both personal and professional life .
this is another story about a professional woman who succeeded in a male - dominated field. fatma, played by faten hamama, became a lawyer after finishing her college education. she was living in the same building with adel, who was a lawyer too and graduated with fatma. although fatma had higher grades than adel, clients wouldn’t hire her, just because she was female. so, her office was empty, while people lined up to seek legal consultations from adel. that was the case until adel was falsely accused of murder. then, fatma stepped in as his lawyer and used her knowledge, intelligence, and resourcefulness to prove him innocent. the movie breaks the stereotypes of women being less successful in certain fields than men, and proves their abilities to gain respect and professionalism in all they aim for .
this movie is one of the most controversial movies as it discusses a very sensitive issue. asmaa, played by actress hend sabry, is a widow with a daughter, lives with her father, works as a cleaner at the airport, and has aids. it is inspired by a true story of an aids patient who had to face that her society thought that aids was only acquired through wrongful doings. although asmaa tried to hide her hiv status, she didn’t stop working or run away to hide when people found out. along with her struggle, it was how people treated her that hurt her the most. nevertheless, she decides to talk about her suffering in a talk show to correct people’s misconceptions, and to give hiv patients some hope and to urge them not to give up. this is the first egyptian movie to discuss this issue, and to present the real facts of the disease through the story of a courageous simple egyptian woman .
in this movie, we find three interesting stories played by three strong female characters, facing the problem of sexual harassment in egypt. the movie is inspired by real stories of women who suffered from harassment, and its name was taken from the name of a public bus, in which one of the characters often was harassed. the three characters are from different social classes, yet they suffer the same offenses in different parts of egypt. nilly, played by nahid al sebaee, is a middle - class young woman who decides to file a case in court for being sexually harassed, which has never been done before. seba, played by nilly karim, is a rich woman who gets assaulted publicly in one of egypt’s squares, which causes her to lose her baby. her husband doesn’t support her, so she decides to divorce him, and starts an organization that aims to stand against harassment and to call for support from society. the third character, faiza, played by boshra, is a young, poor, conservative wife, who can’t afford any other mean of transportation except the public bus, in which she gets harassed daily. the three women get together to raise people’s awareness about the struggles they face and to demand justice from the offenders .
at the end of the 1990s, a group of academics, writers and researchers interested in feminism began a storytelling project. now, more than ten years later, these women continue to tell their stories with the magic of their soothing voices, exciting tales and the intoxicating music of the oud .
these stories were told in a recent storytelling event called ‘fi intizar el nour’ (waiting for the light) at the oriental hall at the american university in cairo to an ecstatic crowd .
another performance of ‘fi intizar el nour’ is expected to take place in the near future. this is a performance you wouldn’t want to miss: for more information, visit their facebook page .

as solange knowles wisely said “very often… the outspoken women are painted as angry and bitter spirits. the outspoken men are praised as revolutionaries and heroes. ” this often applies in the film industry; however, you’d be pleasantly surprised to see that some egyptian movies have been able to break the stereotypes and tell the stories of inspiring women. from vintage 70’s dramas to modern - day productions, we’d like to point out some out - of - the - box egyptian movies that feature strong female leads .
the story is quite controversial, as it tackles some sensitive subjects, and some scenes may have been considered explicit at the time. although the ending may seem a bit idealistic, the film never fails to capture the frustration of becoming a woman in a society that refuses to see women as anything more than potential wives or mothers .
afwah wa araneb, directed by henry barakat, is an egyptian drama film that tells the story of neamat (faten hamama), a single woman living in a rural village with her sister, her alcoholic brother - in - law, and their children. when her brother - in - law tries to forcefully marry her to a wealthy man, neamat runs away to mansoura where she works at a farm. she falls in love with the owner who brings back her hope, and they plan to get married. she goes home to inform her family, only to find out that her brother - in - law has found a way to legally marry her without her knowledge…
the movie addresses a variety of issues, including social inequalities, social mobility, and divorce. the main character is one we can definitely look up to: despite having been lied to, mistreated and disrespected by the men in her life, she decided to take her own destiny in charge, and fought for her right to marry the man of her choice .
this egyptian drama, directed by mohamed khan, tells the story of two working - class women, hind and kamelia. hind (aida reyad) is a rural widow, who moves to the city after her husband’s death and works as a maid to provide for her mother and sisters. kamilia (naglaa fathy) is a divorced woman who lives with her brother and also works as a maid to support him and his family. the story focuses on the growing friendship between the two women, their struggle, and the obstacles they face as they struggle to create a better life for themselves. the film also sheds light on some important societal issues like poverty and domestic abuse .
directed by mohammed khan, this painfully realistic egyptian drama follows the life of hiyam (yasmin raeis), an impoverished 21 year old worker in a textile factory. hiyam falls in love with her supervisor, and soon finds out the attraction is mutual. when rumors of a pregnancy emerge, out of pride, she does not defend herself, but instead, sees an opportunity to free herself from a society which allows no deviation from traditions. but freedom comes at a very high price, and the young woman faces cruel consequences for her alleged misbehavior .
the film brilliantly captures the lives of working - class women, in an environment dictated by a strict and oppressive moral code, disguised as “religion. ” it serves as an eye - opener, and reminds us that even though the privileged social classes have become more accepting of personal freedom, the less fortunate still struggle with extreme conservatism .
in terms of how women are treated and perceived, egypt still has a ways to go. but as you can see, some filmmakers have had the courage to address the issues, and hopefully, films like those mentioned in this article might help get the message through .

arab writers - already under attack by muslim radicals and censors - may have a new enemy. a publisher is accused of tampering with the works of several famous authors, including nobel prize winner naguib mahfouz .
a suit charges the maktabet misr publishing house with slashing steamy love scenes and toning down the characters of women shown as independent with an eye toward sales in conservative saudi arabia. other supposed changes, particularly in mahfouz' s works, were seemingly without reason .
helmy el - nemnem, a cultural reporter who first discovered the tampering, called maktabet misr' s manager, salah el - sahar ,
a frustrated writer
for injecting his own words .
maktabet misr - arabic for
library of egypt
- is charged with making changes in 36 books by the late ihsan abdel qaddous, three by mahfouz and one by the late youssef idris, known as the father of the egyptian short story .
a trial on the suit had been set to begin monday but was postponed until next month because the court was overwhelmed with cases. since cairo courts are notoriously slow, the trial could run on for months .
abdel qaddous, who died in 1990 and whose novels were later adapted as popular movies, seems to have suffered the most. his two sons, outraged at the changes, have brought three suits against the publisher for three novels .
usually if a book is not approved of, it is banned altogether - but never changed. this is a disgrace ,
said one of the sons, mohammad abdel qaddous .
el - sahar denied allegations that he modified the works of mahfouz and idris and called the changes in abdel qaddous' s books
corrections .
in previous interviews he said he had permission for the changes .
he was quoted in the magazine october as saying he altered abdel qaddous' works to market them in
a gulf country ,
presumably saudi arabia. moves to tone down writing are not surprising considering the growing constraints put on egypt' s authors by religious conservatism .
last year, mahfouz, who is 83 and won the nobel prize for literature in 1988, was stabbed by an islamic radical. his works and those of other authors have been censored by the government for touching on religious sensitivities .
even egyptian movies, once known for liberal scenes, have gotten more conservative to satisfy conservative tastes .
in maktabet misr' s version, her words are followed by
and she thought in her ignorance that marriage is a restriction, and she lived a corrupt life because of her incorrect understanding of freedom .
