Magdi Ali blames Egypt's actors for avoiding Ismailia!

Director Magdi Ali and president of the 15th Ismailia International Festival for Documentaries and Short Films spoke to and blamed many Egyptian actors for not attending the events of the festival even though the organizing committee and a few discussion panels have sent them invitations.Ali said that actors Amr Waked and Khaled Abu Elnaga attended the opening ceremony for the care and love for the Egyptian art but others didn't attend like Hend Sabri and Khaled El Sawi and he didn't think that their excuse of being busy in shooting Ramadan dramas was a good enough reason. On the other hand, Ali said that the Jury were impressed by the films that screened in the first and second days of the festival but so far he doesn't know the awards might go to which films.
