  1. Jeanne d’ArcMasriya SYNOPSIS An Egyptian female photojournalist who has been blacklisted by the Mubarak regime and living in exile in Europe, illegally returns to her country at the outset of the people's revolution. While taking pictures of mass demonstrations in Tahrir Square she witnesses the abduction, in a side street, of a young female activist by the army. As the young girl is being taken away she shouts out her name: "Jehanne" and begs the journalist to let her family know what has happened to her. When the journalist arrives to the rural village where the young girl's peasant family lives, she discovers that the family will be powerless to recover their missing daughter. Thus begins the journalists’ quest to track down the revolutionary Jehanne - a modern day, Egyptian Jeanne d'Arc - and an unavoidable confrontation with the ghosts of her own revolutionary past. THE PROJECT We first knew about this project at an idea level, but we decided to support its director in this work as we felt it was equally trascendental for her and her country at this time of Historical changes in Egypt. After being selected by África Produce, the director, supported also by her Kuwaiti producer went to Egypt to research her story. The project is in its early phase of development and will transform itself continuosly. The project has also been later invited by Cannes. Iman Kamel
