The Egyptian actress Basma is one of the female actors who proved their acting abilities when they get serious chances. The most prominent of them was with the director Dawood Abdel-Sade in the film "Sea Letters".
Recently, Basma has been absent from art for more than four years, and then returned with a number of films and the series «My share and your division», which participated in the championship of one of his tales.
She said that she did not retire from art and emigrate to America, as she said, despite her absence for four years already. "I did not retire, of course, and I was absent from Egypt because of family conditions," Basma said. I was forced to travel with my family .. I gave birth during this period my only daughter Nadia, and I needed a full time like any mother has a new child and need to devote to her daughter and care .. This unfortunately required my absence from the art period, and ended the period of care, so I returned to art ».
Bassma indicated that she preferred to remove her daughter at this time from art and lights, so that their circumstances necessitated living in America, and her daughter did not know her mother's work, so I was very surprised when she saw her on television. Taking pictures with her by the fans, so she always asks about the secret of shaking hands with her and taking pictures .. With time gradually Nadia understood that her mother is represented, and this is the nature of her work, and began to adapt.
As for the criticisms she was subjected to politically, and sometimes categorized as a political activist, Basma pointed out that all that was said about this subject is just rumors that she did not try to pay attention to "because it is a whirlwind in a cup no more, and the answer is only wasting time And no less, "adding that in the year of the revolution 2011 tried to focus on the general form of politics in Egypt, especially that the country was divided for more than a political category« with .. or .. against », but all this does not mean the classification of political activist, "She is just an artist interested in important events in her country."
Separate pentacles
Basma participated in the series «My share and your division» with Sherif Ramzi and Hadi Karam and a number of stars, and embodied a story entitled «Ahmed Ya Omar», and this experience spoke: «The experience was very distinctive and artists participating and the scenes more than wonderful. And perhaps the brilliance that happened to work was caused by the relaxation that I experienced and after representation for several years, the return was different, all love and passion and longing », and added the idea of the series« was a lot of different from the other work, the series five separate, and each of five heroes and story .. The most beautiful that all the events of different stories revolve around women and their problems .. The story that I embodied was a woman prostitute, lose her husband and her personal life, and subjected to difficult periods because of the destruction of her family life is forced to change ».
"Unfortunately, this is the case of many wives, but the events revealed that the wives are subjected to a lot of pressure, they have to be the role of the head of the family, and this makes them more solid and rough in dealing with the husband, and the point of the series That we should not blame the wife in these cases, at the same time all the pressures do not justify that the wife neglect her husband and her family ».
"I participated as a guest of honor at work. Two years ago, I wanted to work with director Ahmed Abdullah, and when he told me that he was filming (Laila)," he said, External), and wants me in the role of guest of honor or a healthier sense (special appearance), immediately welcomed even before I read the script. After reading I liked the text too, where I found the character different form and subject ».
Success and controversy
Basma also talked about her new film "New Year" by the author and producer Mohamed Hafez. "The work is very special, especially as it is a new return to Mohamed Hafezi as an author and screenwriter. One of the most important filmmakers in Egypt ». The film is the first directed by Mohamed Saqr, which Basma expects "a great future". The film starring Shereen Reza, Iyad Nassar, Anji Al-Moghaddam and Ahmed Malik. "The film is a very different theme from the films we are currently watching in Egyptian cinema, and its overall composition is good. It is one of the films that will achieve mass success, and at the same time it will be controversial, because its subject is daring to take up, and indirectly presents profound ideas."
Despite the participation of Basma in a large number of popular films, such as Hareem Karim, Mavish Fayeda with Mostafa Kamar, Marjan Ahmed Marjane, with Adel Baz and a number of successful films, some categorize them as important actors in festival films Or those films that participate in special cinematic activities, and the smile is reflected: "I am an actress who performs all roles. Fortunately, I am good at embodying the simple, popular, popular and complex roles. This is an advantage and diversity that I thank God for. But I am not a festival actress, Each representative is fluent in his role and presents him to the fullest. He is a popular and popular representative, and is fit to be represented in a Festival festivals also. " "The participation of the film in any season or festival is something the artist does not put in front of his eye when he accepts the role at all," she said. As for the so-called commercial films and festival films, Basma said that "there must be a balance between the two types. Cinema will not be an industry if it becomes mere symbolic films away from the public. It only attracts critics and festivals. If cinema focuses on satisfying the audience without deep content Will become a commercial cinema only », and concludes Basma to say« there must be a balance between the Jamahiriya and content, in this case can not be classified as not suitable for the public or not suitable for festivals .. then the film will be valid for all ».
"Acknowledgment of receipt"
One of the most important stations in the life of the Egyptian artist Basma is her participation in the film «Access Flag», which won special prizes at the Venice Festival last. The actress said: "The film is a very special case, and it was an important surprise in my life to get three awards in the festival Venice ».
"I was most encouraged to participate in the film is director Hisham Saqr, who insisted on my participation in the action tournament, and this determination affected a lot .. I appreciated his design, and agreed to respect and respect him .. This gave me this love to try to present the role well, Is the first experience of Hisham Saqr, because it is a product in the first place, but it is amazingly amazing to all of us. "
