In a compelling cinematic moment 🎬, the short film “The Last Miracle” by emerging director Abdelwahab Shoukry finally made its highly anticipated appearance at the 46th Cairo International Film Festival, after being withheld from screening for over a year.

Shoukry revealed that the film passed censorship without any reshoots or changes, saying: “The film went through exactly as it is.”
The statement reflects the filmmakers’ confidence in the film’s artistic and symbolic depth 🔥.

Warm Audience Reception
The film received enthusiastic applause during its official screening, with both audiences and critics praising its bold narrative and minimalist visual style — especially after the surprising decision to prevent its screening at El Gouna Festival last year.

While the reasons behind its earlier ban remain unknown, Shoukry noted that some films face unexplained restrictions, with the truth emerging only years later.

🎥 About the Film
“The Last Miracle” belongs to the independent short–film movement and explores — through symbolic storytelling — the human struggle with fate and the search for redemption within a pressuring social environment.

🌟 A Promising Comeback
Being selected for Cairo International Film Festival marks a significant milestone for Shoukry, re-establishing him as one of the most promising voices in contemporary independent cinema.
