Tunisian film Hedi keeps pulling in crowds and gaining wide acclaim, as a result, its screening at Zawya Cinema in Downtown, Cairo, has been extended for one extra week. MAD Solutions had released the film last Wednesday, August 16, 2017, after it made its Egyptian premiere, opening the Cairo Cinema Days last May with a full-house screening. Hedi is set to continue its festival tour across the Arab world in August and September.

Hedi follows Hedi, a young man of few words who doesn't expect much from the future and lets others make his big decisions for him. His mother is preparing his marriage to Khadija, but two days before that; Hedi meets Rim in the city of Mahdia, who captivates him by her free-spirit, and he finds himself obsessed with this new-born passion. The film stars Majd Mastoura, Rym Ben Messaoud, and Sabah Bouzouita.

Hedi is written and directed by Mohamed Ben Attia, and co-produced by Dora Bouchoucha, Nadim Cheikhrouha, along with Belgian producers and directors, the brothers Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne (Two Days, One Night), while the distribution of the film is handled by MAD Solutions.
