Theater and cinema

Haya Abdel Salam talks about the theatre shows that unfortunately have become limited, and cinema is also facing difficulties in terms of production, and drama remains the most widespread and most watched by the public.

Television is present in every home, and the Gulf is witnessing a greater interest in drama. I see that it is heading towards many beautiful developments in these arts for several reasons, including the interest of educated youth in these arts, in addition to the availability of supportive conditions such as freedom, funding, production centers, and many other artistic, creative, and technical facilities. This is in addition to the importance of the film festivals that are held here, as they increase artistic culture, elevate aesthetic taste, and help in the development of these arts.

Come on Abdul Salam Haya Abdel Salam showed the importance of freedom, openness, and the relationship of understanding and communication between artists and society. For example, she says that before, some scenes were not accepted and some emotional shots were not allowed to be shown, such as a boy kissing his mother. But times have changed and we need to show this tenderness to reduce the seriousness of social reality. Also, the conditions of drama and cinema have developed and scenes are presented in them that are not devoid of boldness, and this is necessary because it is part of reality and leaves a positive impact within the family and society.
