She designed a miniature paper model in Belgium, recorded the music at Pyramid Studio (Brussels), and collaborated on mixing and mastering locally. The filming took place partly in this constructed world and partly on location in Egypt, with actress Salma Abu Deif and director Karim El Hayawan. The project was produced by Mwsoul (Belgium) and reflects Benali’s multidisciplinary approach to memory, place, and voice. “FILM MASRY” (The Film of My Egypt) – The Soundtrack COMPOSITION: Ghalia Benali LYRICS: Ghalia Benali & Nehal Hany جملتين "في بلاد بتزورها مرة وتعيش جواك سنين وبلاد في كل مرة ياخدك ليها الحنين" صيغتها مستلهمة من قصيدة "في ناس" من ديوان الشاعر أحمد شلبي " Translation: Nehal Hany "Some countries you visit once and live in you for years And countries every time, nostalgia takes you to them With longings and greetings I walk long distances Telling you about who has been expatriated for years I was watered from Tunisia and had a home from its soil In Egypt “Thebes” I found Tunis and its ripe clay My heart’s Jasmines that faded O nights cut the blame Since my heart melted, I found home in every land Your country is dear to us and its people are close to the hearts Your country is dear to us and its people are kind Even when it gets gloomy, it clears in two seconds Since everything is in our hands and we are unaware of it And if good is covering us, God is always the supporter Once upon a time in this new era A white movie in a black movie A white fairytale in a black alleyway On a white night holding a heart That’s hiding bits and pieces of an old Egyptian movie Let go of the past and leave us in what’s coming next If the sighs allowed us, we will be together"
