Hayden: An Egyptian Short Movie Going International
Mohamed Najjar
The Egyptian short movie "Hayden" will premiere in London at one of the British Film Institution's halls.
The film which takes place in 1951, after World War II, starts with a big ceremony organized by the rich French lady, Hayden, who is used to make an annual party for the elite at her palace.
During the ceremony many incidents occur between the guests who are weapons dealers, businessmen and public figures. The incidents reveal the nature of the society at that time; then suddenly Hayden reveals her illness.
Hayden is a French-English-speaking movie, filmed in Egypt. Hayden is played by Egyptian actress Engy Abou Zeid, written and produced by Tarek Abdel Gaffar, directed and coproduced by Ammar Galal.
Galal previously participated with two of his short movies in Cannes International Film Festival after completing his masters in London in 2014.

FOR THE FIRST TIME, MARVEL'S LOGO OPENS TO THE UNIQUE ARAB TRAP BY EGYPT'S HOMEGROWN TALENT DJ KABOO ON THE LATEST EPISODE OF MOONKNIGHT, HITTING THE SERIES' WORLDWIDE AUDIENCE WITH EGYPTIAN CLASSIC. The new show, directed by renowned Egyptian director and producer Mohammed Diab, showcases current Egyptian talent with one of the Middle East's rising Egyptian DJs and music producers well as Dubai's star disc jockey, DJ Kaboo being one of them. Already having his first track "Arab Trap Made in Egypt" featured in the premier episode of the series which sampled "Khosara" by Abdel Halim Hafez which was licensed by Mazzika group. His second track "Enta" which is the fourth track of his Arab Trap E.P. sampling "Batwanes Beek" by Warda being the new hit track that stole the show on the third episode of Moon Knight, with the track not only being used for both the intro and the credits of the episode but being added to Marvel's official playlist, taking Egyptian music and Kaboo to a whole new level on the global stage!
A Dubai's club regular scene since becoming the 2013, Pioneer's DJ Middle East champion, he was driven by his passion of mixing-and-mastering old popular Arab tracks in hopes of introducing the culture to a global audience. He honed his music production talents to carve a new sub-genre of "Arab Trap" releasing the powerful "Arab Trap Made in Egypt" in 2018, followed up by his Arab Trap E.P. in 2020. This string of successes led to him being known as the "Arab Trap King", earning his place among the scene's elite.
The Arab Trap king was presented with the amazing chance to have his tracks featured in Marvel's new series in late 2021. Following the unbelievable opportunity, he contacted his manager, Carousel's CEO Daliah Galal to take it to the next level, where she helped seal the deal. Marvel ended up taking both tracks which sampled the popular classic tracks from the Arab world. Kaboo was enthusiastic with the new series' potential of exposing the world to a fresh and revitalized take on classic Egyptian and Arab music with an injection of modern trap elements for a new and energetic audience.
Kaboo performed with prominent global artists such as Drake and Rihanna as well as Arab superstar Mohamed Ramadan, with him being the official DJ for Rihanna's 2018 Fenty Dubai Launch Party and later on he became Mohamed Ramadan's official DJ in 2021. Who he had notable performances with at the 2022 Middle East music festival. This recent collaboration with Marvel stands to elevate Kaboo's efforts to explore and introduce to the world his unique "Arab Trap" style with him as one of the rising stars in the region's music scene with this being his time to introduce the rich Middle Eastern flavor to the world!
