Shiri: I learned from "The Leader"

Artist Shery Adel stated that her role in the film “Hassan and Morcos,” alongside actors Adel Imam and the late Omar Sharif, was one of the significant milestones in her artistic career, noting that the experience gave her the opportunity to work with two of the most prominent stars of Egyptian cinema.

Shery explained, during a panel she presented as part of the Hurghada Youth Cinema Festival events, that “Hassan and Morcos” was a different experience for her, particularly because the film was written by Youssef Ma’aty, whose writing she praised for its excellence, as well as working with Adel Imam and Omar Sharif. She pointed out that the presence of such major names provided an opportunity to learn and acquire new experiences.

She spoke about her experience with “The Leader” Adel Imam, affirming that she learned a great deal from him on both artistic and human levels, especially his attention to detail and his dedication to every stage of production, from preparation to filming. She noted that working with him revealed to her different aspects of how to prepare for a character and a scene, and how to benefit from the experience of an artist who had spent many years working in cinema and drama.
