Known for Sally El Hosaini’s Sundance prizewinner My Brother the Devil, and Ahmad Abdalla’s Microphone, Egyptian Production Company Film Clinic, is branching out into music.
Headed by producer Mohamed Hefzy, the Cairo-based company will produce an album and a videoclip for Massar Egbari, a band from Alexandria that mixes rock with traditional Egyptian melodies.
The new Massar Egbari album will be produced by Film Clinic for release in 2013 via Egyptian music label and distributor Pyramedia.
I chose Massar Egbari because I wanted to continue a journey that began in 2010 during the shooting of Microphone, said Hefzy.
Although Film Clinic doesnt produce musical videclips, this deal is extraordinary and falls within our mission of empowering, and supporting emerging artists.
The Massar Egbari had won a UNESCO nod in 2011 for promoting dialogue between the Arab and Western worlds.
