Wegz & Ali El Arabi: From Ez El Arab to the Big Screen with Wattar Wahed

For the third time, Wegz and acclaimed director Ali El Arabi are teaming up—but this time, they're taking their creative synergy to a whole new level with their first feature film Wattar Wahed. After making waves with powerful music videos like Ez El Arab during the World Cup and the emotional hit Ba'wda Ya Belady, the duo is shifting from music videos to cinema.
Wattar Wahed continues the humanistic and artistic thread that has defined El Arabi's collaborations with Wegz, offering a fresh cinematic experience that blends music and storytelling with a raw, contemporary lens.
Known for his socially driven and emotionally charged films, Ali El Arabi has built an impressive reputation on the international stage. His documentary Captains of Zaatari earned widespread acclaim and was screened at prestigious festivals like Cannes and Sundance. He's also co-produced award-winning titles such as 52 Blue, Arze, and Goodbye Julia—films that have been contenders for the Oscars.
While full details about Wattar Wahed remain under wraps, casting, shooting dates, and release plans are set to be announced soon.
But what's clear is that One String promises a fresh cinematic voice, one that speaks to an entire generation through powerful sound and compelling visuals.
This collaboration isn't just a bold new chapter for both Wegz and El Arabi—it might just spark a new wave of Egyptian cinema: youthful, grounded, and deeply resonant.
