د   & ا Lم Contemporary Egyptian Cinema at a glance The Egyptian cinema, the leading cinema industry in the Arab world, is witnessing a revival. In fact, this revival dates back to the nineties when the film Esma'eleya Rayeh Gaii (Esma'eleya going and coming) was released. The important thing about that film was that all the actors in that film were not stars, but new faces trying to make their way into the cinema. Those new faces, unlike the old stars who were monopolizing the cinema and were still playing roles that were not in keeping with their ages, attracted the Egyptian youth who represent the majority of filmgoers in Egypt. It was that film that started a new wave of movies starring young actors, in fact the actors of Esma'eleya Rayeh Gaii have become box office stars now. One of the good aspects of the cinema revival is that it re-attracted filmgoers and led to the establishment of many new movie theatres. It also increased the number of films produced every year and introduced new blood into all the fields of the cinema industry.
