Warda at the Mediterranean Film Festival in Brussels


The Egyptian thriller film Warda will take part at the 15th Mediterranean Film Festival in Brussels which will be held from 4 to 11 December 2015. The film will be screened within the Panorama Section on December 6th, 2015 at 09:00 PM (GMT+1).

Warda traces a video blogger who returns to his Egyptian countryside home to document and investigate strange happenings that have been disturbing his family since the death of his father.

This is the film's third screening outside the Arab world where it had a successful commercial march. Warda previously took part in the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival in July, in addition to its presence in the European Film Market held within the 65th Berlin International Film Festival, the world's major film market hub, through the 1st Arab Cinema Center organized by MAD Solutions.

Directed by Hadi El Bagoury and written by Scriptwriter/Producer Mohamed Hefzy, Warda is produced by Film Clinic and The Producers, in co-production with Aroma Pictures.

Distributed by MAD Solutions, Warda is the first film in the Arab filmmaking community to have its final cut revamped based on the audiences' remarks on the ending in a test screening held prior to its theatrical release. The film is also the first in the Arab world to be created in found-footage style and the first film to be released across 4 Arab countries at the same time.
