Cinema has the power to travel, and few storytellers do it with more conviction than Mohamed Diab. In this session, he explores how Arab filmmakers can create stories that are both deeply local and universally human. From Cairo to Hollywood, Diab shares his creative philosophy on crafting films that challenge perception, carry cultural weight, and speak a language that transcends borders.
