Egyptian court rules on film Al Set
The Administrative Court of Egypt ruled to reject the lawsuit demanding the withdrawal of the license to screenings of the film "Elsit," which depicts the biography of the artist Umm Kulthum. The court affirmed that the film presents her career in a positive light and is based on real events. It is a dramatic work that safeguards artistic freedom of expression and should not be considered an accurate historical documentation. The court emphasized that the film showcases aspects of Umm Kulthum’s life and the challenges she faced, acknowledging that some scenes depict moments of vulnerability, but they do not harm her reputation. The court stated that censorship or withdrawal of this dramatized work based on real life is unwarranted, especially as society upholds the freedom of expression.
