Kinda Alloush praised, in her recent statements at the Aswan Women’s Film Festival, the role of adventurous producers who support bold works that address unconventional and daring issues. She emphasized the importance of such producers who place their trust in quality content, even if it may not be guaranteed to achieve mass success.


During her seminar at the festival, Kinda discussed the development of writing in recent years, pointing out that there are now writers who tackle bold issues in direct and impactful ways. She added that she supports the idea that art should reflect societal issues and present new topics, even if they are unfamiliar.


Regarding the possibility of working on a project about the people of Nubia and Aswan, Kinda Alloush explained that she would be very proud to participate in a project that reflects this rich culture, considering that taking part in such a project would be an honor for her. However, she emphasized that actors are often not able to choose the projects they work on, as they are receivers of roles, not creators of them.


Kinda also addressed the stereotypical portrayal of Nubians in cinema, noting that many Nubian characters appear in servant or doorman roles, which does not sit well with many people from this community. She said: "You have the right to see yourselves in cinema as you are, reflecting your own stories," emphasizing that she fully understands this matter and expressed her willingness to participate in any project that portrays the lives of Nubians and highlights their culture respectfully.


Regarding her artistic work, Kinda Alloush revealed her participation in the series "Ikhwati" (My Sisters) which aired during Ramadan 2025. The series witnessed strong competition with other works and featured a large cast of stars such as Nelly Karim, Ruby, Jihan El-Shamashri, Hatem Salah, Ali Sobhi, and Mohamed Mamdouh. It was directed by Mohamed Shaker Khodier and written by Mhab Tarek. The series revolves around four sisters who face difficulties in their relationships with the opposite sex and seek to achieve their personal dreams. However, their lives are turned upside down after the murder of one of the sisters’ husbands, which leads them to find ways to clear their sister from the murder charge.


On another note, Kinda emphasized the importance of cooperation between artists and producers to present works with meaningful content that reflects the social and cultural realities of different communities. She added that such works would serve as a starting point for the new generations to understand their history and cultures through art, which makes her proud to participate in such projects.


Kinda also expressed deep interest in the future of the cinema industry in Egypt, pointing out that the role of artists is not limited to acting but extends to influencing society through the issues they address. She noted that she always seeks to participate in works that tackle important issues, touch people's concerns, and contribute to raising cultural and social awareness.


Furthermore, Kinda Alloush emphasized that cinema should not only present commercial films but should also be a platform for addressing social and humanitarian issues in a bold and creative way. She added that this is the true role of real artists who seek to present works that go beyond entertainment to deliver a clear message that impacts society and contributes to changing it for the better.


Regarding the development of the cinema industry in Egypt, Kinda confirmed that there is a sense of optimism among both artists and producers, pointing out that fruitful cooperation between everyone will play a major role in elevating Egyptian art and taking it to new levels of success and global recognition.


Overall, Kinda Alloush's statements at the Aswan Women’s Film Festival represent a clear vision of the role of art and artists in influencing societies, especially when it comes to discussing bold issues that may provoke controversy, but ultimately contribute to societal progress and development. Through her participation in works that address important societal issues, Kinda reflects a strong inclination to highlight the human and cultural values that deserve to be spotlighted.


In the end, Kinda Alloush remains one of the stars who continuously seeks opportunities to present new roles that contribute to portraying an authentic and diverse image of Egyptian society on the big screen, making her one of the most notable names whose work deserves a chance for success.
