‘The Brink of Dreams’ Directors Receive Variety MENA Talent of the Year Award
'The Brink of Dreams' duo Nada Riyadh and Ayman El Amir have received the Variety Middle East and North Africa Talent of the Year Award.
“The Brink of Dreams” is a moving coming-of-age story following the Panorama Barsha Troupe, an all-female theater group in a remote village in southern Egypt who take to the streets to act out their plays denouncing underage marriage, domestic violence and patriarchy in a deeply conservative society. Their feature debut “Happily Ever After” — chronicling the beginning of the real-life partners’ romance against the early days of the Egyptian Arab Spring — premiered at IDFA in 2016. Receiving the award made the filmmaking duo reflect upon the importance of telling authentic, often untold stories and safeguarding and supporting their national cinema.
