Hala Jalal for"Rosalousif"I did not decide my decision to continue to chair the Ismailia Festival
Director Hala Jalal, head of the Ismailia and short films Festival, said that the most important difficulty she faced during her management of the 26th session is the weak budget, which cast a shadow over several things, including the lack of advertising and the lack of more than one films besides inviting the largest number of cinematographers, journalists and critics. /P>
Hala Jalal revealed in her interview with Rosalous the reasons for the absence of the Minister of Culture or the representative of the opening ceremony, confirming the support and sponsorship of the ministry for the festival, and also talked about her experience in managing the Ismailia Festival and the reason for the lack of a young honorable in the list of honors the 26th session and other details that start From the opening ceremony.
The Minister of Culture, Dr. Ahmed Fouad Hanu, or the ceremony, did not attend questions about the existence of a dispute between the ministry and the festival administration .. What is your comment? The matter is that there is an emergency circumstance that prompted the Minister of Culture to apologize to the governor of Ismailia, and it was assumed that the director Khaled Jalal, head of the Cultural Production Sector, was supposed to be on his behalf, but it was not possible to attend due to his return from traveling a few hours before the festival, and God willing, Dr. Hano will attend the conclusion.
What are the reasons for the lack of propaganda that is appropriate for the festival’s history? A relationship with universities and a number of associations, in order to increase the circles of communication with the people of Ismailia and the use of young people who write scenarios about their relationship with the place to participate in the workshop workshop, also there is a workshop for environmental films in which an Egyptian photographer and Dutch documentary director participated, and youth participated in the workshop of the city of cities The channel, and these workshops were an opportunity to extend our hands to society, as the cinematic- especially the registration- always wants to have to do with the real people and all this is somewhat instead of the lack of propaganda.
It is remarkable during this session that there are no publications except for the catalog .. What is the reason? We made this decision as a kind of budget and preserving the environment, and I think that over time publications will disappear gradually.
You were keen to honor the pioneers of the documentary cinema during this session .. Why did we not see a young honorable among the honorees? We have linked to the end of the trip and that this person has finished his career, so the festival supports young people and encourages them on the other hand, whether by supporting their projects in the forum or their participation in various workshops, or participating in their films in competitions.

This year, you chose to have one show of films and a single show, so what is the reason? A movie, whether inside or outside Egypt, and the festival team made a great effort to attract all this amount of films and overcome the problem of poor budget, and we insisted on translating films so that there is communication with the audience.
& nbsp;
With the end of the activities of the 26th session of the Ismailia Festival … What do you evaluate the experience and the most important difficulties that you faced during the past days? Of the cinematographers, critics and journalists, but unfortunately the weak capabilities of our resentment and I know that there are many names that were upset because of this matter and I apologize to them because the Ismailia Festival is an artistic demonstration of the right of all the cinematic and critics of Egypt and journalists interested in art to attend it.
What are the most important activities remaining during the coming days? Also there is a symposium of the honorees on Tuesday, along with the presentation of the rest of the competition films.
Finally, did you settle your decision to continue in a new session of the Ismailia Festival? >
