| A documentary about a group of young, disenfranchised Coptic Christians in Egypt who form an all-female theatre troupe is among the selection for Critics' Week, a competition for new directors at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. | |
| Critics week focuses on directors making their first or second films and helped filmmakers like Britain's Ken Loach and France's Julia Ducournau gain international renown. | |
| Rafaat Einy ll Sama (On the Brink of Dreams) is among the 11 films that made this year's selection. | |
| The coming-of-age documentary was directed by Egyptian duo Nada Riyadh and Ayman El Amir. It was filmed over four years. | |
| Coptic Christians are a significant minority in Egypt, with between six and 11 million members of the Church. | |
| They said they face discrimination and play a lesser part in Egyptian public life than their numbers justify. | |
| The 77th Cannes Film Festival began on Sunday in France and will run until 25 May. | |
