Egypt is where I needed to be as an Arabic actress. - Dorra Zarrouk

I believe very short films represent the future of cinema. Digital platforms have propelled this genre forward, matching the fast-paced nature of today’s world. While they won’t replace feature-length films, they offer a refreshing addition that brings diversity and a new dimension to the industry.

If you never take risks, you will never have an interesting life. To have a successful career, you should take risks – but, yes, it wasn’t an easy decision.

It was a difficult decision to make, but I was young and I had big dreams, so I followed them. I did well in Tunis, but my acting wasn’t really being seen in other countries.
