Donia Samir Ghanem will be honoured at the upcoming fifth annual Aswan International Film Festival for Women, starting February 20th. Each year, the festival pays homage to the young stars who bear the responsibility of developing Egyptian cinema - and this year, it's picked Donia Ghanem as the face of those achievements. With her participation in big titles like 'El Farah', 'Cabaret' and 'La Taragoa w La Esteslam', you better believe she deserves it.


And look. The actress has *range*. Who's going to deny that? More importantly, HOW would you deny that? She’s done everything from quirky comedy roles like ‘Hedeya in El Kebir’, to seriously thought-provoking dramas like ‘El Farah’. As the daughter of Egyptian icon Samir Ghanem, it’s not surprising that this young artist has got real talent - but it sure is exciting to see her forge her own path on the cinematic scene.
