El Gouna Artistic Director Amir Ramses Steps Down Before Festival Ends
Naman Ramachandran Amir Ramses, artistic director of the ongoing El Gouna Film Festival in Egypt, has resigned in the final days of the event. It’s believed he may have stepped down due to growing local opposition to Cannes-winning film “Feathers,” by Egyptian filmmaker Omar El Zohairy.The film follows a family thrown into disarray after its patriarch is accidentally turned into a chicken by a magician during a children’s birthday party.
