Late star Hussein Al Imam's first and last directorial project, Zay Ood El Kabreet, will be screened at the Netherlands-Flemish Institute in Cairo on Sunday, 29 April, at 7:30 PM. The film will also feature English translation.

Zay Ood El Kabreet is a comedic tale invented by the late filmmaker Al Imam to pay tribute to the super stars of the Egyptian cinema's Golden Era. The plot combines scenes starring 21 actors from the age of black and white films, such as Faten Hamama, Hend Rostom, Mahmoud El-Meliguy, Hussein Riad, Imad Hamdi, Magda El Khatib, Farid Shawqi, Samir Sabry, in addition to other scenes written by and starring Al Imam.

The end product leads to the rediscovery of golden age actors in a new context. Along with Hussein Al Imam, the film stars Sahar Ramy, Khaled Mahrous, Zakaria Amer and singer Randa El-Sobky.
