But the glory days could not last, and the industry suffered a devastating blow with the 2011 revolution. The aftershocks continued with the overthrow of President Mohamed Morsi in 2013, and subsequent violence across the country. But after years of instability, there are signs that the Egyptian movie powerhouse is coming back to life. Middle East Now wants to dedicate to it a focus with the screening of 5 films by young directors that will tell us more of their country in such a crucial moment of its recent history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><em>Programme:<\/em><\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <strong>Happily Ever After <\/strong>di Nada Riyadh,
