The great artist, Hussein Fahmy revealed the reason for his refusal to take pictures with the media, Bossi Shalaby, during the opening ceremony of the Cairo International Film Festival in its 44th session.
Fahmy said, on the “Hazrat Al-Citizen” programme: “I refused to imagine why I asked her to come without a phone, while she was holding the phone and broadcasting live.”
He continued, “I met her coming to the festival with a phone, and I was refusing this issue and told people that there is no need to broadcast live and film by phone, and we have DMC channel and Al- Mehwar broadcasting the event.”
He added, “There’s no disagreement between Bossi and I, and I sat down with her afterward.”
The artist, Hussein Fahmy, head of the Cairo Film Festival, embarrassed the media, Bossi Shalaby, as they were on the red carpet at the opening ceremony of the 44th Cairo International Film Festival.
