El Sett: Movie screening

✨ Beit Ebla presents El Sett, a powerful and visually striking biographical film about the legendary Egyptian singer and actress Umm Kulthum.

We welcome you to Bio Roy, Gothenburg, for an evening of film, music, and community.

Directed by Marwan Hamed and written by Ahmed Mourad, the film follows Umm Kulthum’s life from her childhood in the village of Tamay al-Zahayra to her international breakthrough and iconic status. With Mona Zaki in the lead role, the story portrays a woman navigating tradition, resistance, and power, whose voice came to shape generations and the cultural identity of an entire region.

Moving between the personal and the political, the film captures the social and political transformations of Egypt and the Arab world during the 1950s and 1960s. Her relationships with poets and composers such as Ahmed Rami, Mohamed El Qasabgi, and Riad Al Sunbati play a central role in both her artistic development and personal life.

🚪 Doors open at 19:00 or a pre-screening mingle with light refreshments and drinks

An evening for those interested in film, music, history, culture, and stories of women who changed the world.
