Before the Arab Spring and the unexplained decline in the Egyptian cinema, the industry was, by all means, booming!
There were several seasons were the competition was nothing less than fierce and intense between Egyptian movies. However, it could be argued that recently, the Egyptian cinema is regaining its life back, with some interesting movies being produced and released.
