Abdel Rahman Mohsen

A distinguished Egyptian screenwriter, he presented many works to Egyptian and Arab cinema that had a clear impact in the artistic field, as well as radio works present on many radio stations, one of the pillars of the Friday sitting. Abdul Rahman Mohsen’s interest in cinema began a long time ago, and he entered the field of writing for drama through the radio portal, as it represented a special love for him. He wrote 26 radio series in Egypt, including the radio series (Before Departure) starring Samiha Ayoub, and he wrote one screenplay. One of the most important Egyptian films is the film (The Time of Hatem Zahran) in 1987, which was an inspiration for many artistic works that dealt with the period of economic openness at that time. Abdul Rahman Mohsen joined Qatar Radio and Television, where he wrote three Qatari series, the first of which was the series “Dana,” which won the Carthage Festival Prize in 1982. Then he wrote the series “Al-Nas Bayzat” with the artist Ghanem Al-Sulaiti, and participated in writing the first episodes of the famous work “Fayez Al-Toush.” Mohsen worked at Qatar Radio from 1980 until 1992 in the program preparation department. During that period, he wrote more than 200 radio programs, and he had distinguished novel experiences, as he presented to Qatar Radio 13 novels known as “Arabic novels.” He was also a member of the Foreign Film Censorship Committee at Qatar TV. Then he resigned from Qatar Television and traveled to Canada and established a company there to distribute series, through which he dubbed a large number of foreign works. Then, in 1996, Abdul Rahman Mohsen joined the Qatar Cinema Company and served as general manager of the company. During this period there were not many Qatari cinemas, so he helped establish many of them through the Qatar Cinema Company.
