"Safe Exit" director presents tolerance drama at El Gouna Film Festival

Director Mohamed Hammad presented "Safe Exit" at a press conference for the ninth El Gouna Film Festival, calling the drama a statement for tolerance against violence.

• "Safe Exit" is the only Egyptian entry in the festival's feature-length competition, following its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival.
• Hammad said the film is about tolerance, insisting people live "under one sky called humanity," and against violence in any form.
• Producer Khulud Saad said the film relied on self-funding, with the team seeking grants from three donor bodies to complete post-production.
