‘Kiss Me Not’ to screen at Netherlands-Flemish Institute

CAIRO – 29 August 2018: Egyptian film “Balash Tebosny” (Kiss Me Not) will screen on Thursday at Cairo’s Netherlands-Flemish Institute.

Directed by Ahmed Amer and starring the renowned Yasmin Raeis, Mohamed Mahran, Salwa Mohamed Ali, and Sawsan Badr, the film revolves around a backstage setting where a film director is facing challenges in dealing with the protagonist and the producer of a film. All three of them are dragged in arguments due to their different points of view.

Released on Feb. 1, 2018, this satirical comedy is shot in the style of a documentary which follows a young film-maker's attempts to adapt the script of a great writer who recently passed away, only to find his inexperience prevents him from dealing with a rather odd and embarrassing situation.

The film has been featured in international festivals including the Arab Film Festival in Paris, the Shanghai International Film Festival, the 14th Dubai International Film Festival, and Tripoli Film Festival.
