Women Who Loved Cinema, Part I plot

The documentary provides an insight into the contributions of six women to the Egyptian film industry in the early twentieth century. At a time when the country, despite liberal movements, these women broke through social and cultural barriers to pursue their passion for cinema. The film combines film clips with interviews, including director Youssef Chahine, and academics who discuss the impact of these female pioneers.
