The two feature films “Dark Clouds” directed by Ayman Zidan and “The Back to the Wall” directed by Aws Mohamed and produced by the General Film Organization won the two creativity awards.

The events of the movie “Dark Clouds”, written by Zidan in partnership with Yasmine Abu Fakhr, begin with the decision of the film’s hero, Dr. Ahmed, played by the actor Wael Ramadan, to return to his city which is  devastated by the war after a long absence in France to end his last days there after discovering that he had cancer. With his return, the tales of this painful city exploded as  the war cast its shadows over it and weighed heavily on the fates of those who lived through the harsh years there.
