 Synopsis of Upcoming Film: Ashiqat al-Cinema (Women who Loved Cinema) 2003 
 (116 min.)  “Women who loved Cinema” is about six strong-willed women 
 whose adventurous streak changed the face of the film industry in early 
 twentieth century Egypt- a time when the country was, despite the liberal 
 ripples, still steeped in conservative tradition.  This film shows how 
 these women, different as they were in class and social background, broke 
 taboos and dismissed conventional wisdom to fufill their overpowering  
 passion for filmmaking.
