Luxor African Film Festival will honour acclaimed Egyptian composer Hesham Nazih during its 12th edition.
Nazih was selected by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to be a member of the Oscar organizer’s membership ranks.
The 12th edition of the Luxor African Film Festival is scheduled to take place from February 4 to 11, 2023.
Nazih is best known for his distinguished style that interweaves authentic melodies with contemporary music. He has built a 20+ year artistic career and has under his belt more than 40 award-winning soundtracks of blockbuster films that dominated the Egyptian box-office and achieved critical acclaims such as Snakes and Ladders, Ibrahim Labyad, The Blue Elephant I and II, Sons of Rizk I and II, and The Treasure I and II. His TV hits include Friendly Fire, The Seven Commandments, The Covenant, and Shahid’s Every Week Has A Friday.
Following his career-defining score for the Pharaohs’ Golden Parade last year, Hesham Nazih was tapped to write the music for Marvel Studios’ latest series, Moon Knight.
LAFF is organised by the Independent Shabab Foundation with the support of the Egyptian ministries of culture, tourism, antiquities, youth and sports and foreign affairs. LAFF also takes place in cooperation with the Luxor governorate, the Film Syndicate, and numerous sponsors.
