Egyptian Film Male Stars in the Nasser Era: A Virtual Book Talk

Register

Join us for a virtual book talk on Egyptian Male Film Stars in the Nasser Era by Dr. Samar Abdel-Rahman, an exploration of male stardom in Egyptian cinema during the transformative years following the 1952 revolution and the rule of Gamal Abdel Nasser.

Drawing on cultural and film studies, the book examines the lives and careers of three iconic stars—Omar Sharif, Ismail Yassin, and Farid Shawqi—and how their films reflected changing ideas of masculinity, national identity, and modernity during this pivotal period in Egypt’s history.

The talk will feature a presentation by the author followed by a Q&A with the audience.
