MAD Solutions, in cooperation with Darb 1718, organizes an exceptional screening for Les Petits Chats film, directed by Sherif Nakhla, to commemorate the memory of the late Ezzat Abu Oaf, on Thursday, July 11.

The late actor Ezzat Abu Oaf joined the music world as a pianist in a band that played foreign songs in Arabic. Despite the band's overwhelming success, Ezzat had to abandon it after his father asked him to dedicate his time to his university studies, in order to graduate. He rejoined the band in 1973.
