We’re excited to announce that the film Les Aigles de la République, with cinematography by Pierre Aïm, AFC, has been selected for the official 2025 Cannes Film Festival lineup. Directed by Tarik Saleh and produced by Memento Production, the film follows George El-Nabawi, once hailed as the golden face of Egyptian cinema, whose dramatic fall from grace leads him to portray President Al-Sissi in a state-commissioned biopic. As he delves deeper into the role, George finds himself caught in the web of a regime where the lines between fiction and reality become dangerously blurred. He soon discovers he’s not just acting, he’s ensnared in a deadly political game. The cast features Fares Fares, Lyna Khoudri, Zineb Triki, Amr Waked, and Cherien Dabis.
Be sure to catch the screenings:
• May 20th, 8:30 AM – Salle Agnès Varda
• May 20th, 11:45 AM – Grand Théâtre Lumière
