略歴

Mahmoud (or Mahmud) Shalaby, or Mahmood Shalabi, is a Palestinian actor born on July 19, 1982, in Acre, Israel. He has appeared in several films produced or co-produced in France and received the award for best male actor at the Film Festival of La Réunion in 2011 for the role of Naïm in the film A Bottle in the Gaza Sea, directed by Thierry Binisti and adapted from the novel Une bouteille dans la mer de Gaza by Valérie Zenatti. He was honored with two other awards at the same festival. Shalaby grew up in a poor neighborhood in Acre in marked by urban violence. With his friends, he started a rap and hip-hop group, MWR, which is now dissolved. He then managed a café before being contacted by director Keren Yedaya, who gave him his first role in a non-documentary film. He was interviewed in 2008 in the documentary Slingshot Hip Hop by Jackie Reem Salloum, which covered Palestinian hip-hop in three geographic areas: Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. Shalaby played the role of Toufik in Jaffa, directed by Keren Yedaya and released in 2009, and the role of the Jewish-Algerian singer Salim Halali in Free Men, directed by Ismaël Ferroukhi and released in 2011. In 2010, Shalaby appeared with Mohammed Bakri in an Arabic short film, The Clock and the Man, adapted from a short story of the same name by the exiled Palestinian novelist Samira Azzam (1927-1967). He also played Naim, a young Palestinian from Gaza, whose mother was played by Hiam Abbass, opposite a young Israeli woman, Tal, played by Agathe Bonitzer, in a film directed by Thierry Binisti, A Bottle in the Gaza Sea. The film was released in France on February 8, 2012. The film was inspired by a novel by Valérie Zenatti, Une bouteille dans la mer de Gaza. In The Other Son by Lorraine Lévy, released in France on April 4, 2012, Shalaby played Bilal, ostensibly the brother of Yacine (Mehdi Dehbi), but in fact the brother of Joseph (Jules Sitruk), accidentally exchanged at birth in the confusion created by a bombing. With an interest in Sufi music, Shalaby plays the kawala, a traditional Egyptian flute, that is seen and heard in The Other Son. Shalaby was shortlisted in the category of Most Promising Actor for the 38th César Awards in 2013 for his appearance in A Bottle in the Gaza Sea.

海に浮かぶ小瓶
Tai is 17 years old. Naim is 20. She's Israeli. He's Palestinian. She lives in Jerusalem. He lives in Gaza. They were born in a land of scorched earth, where fathers bury their children. They must endure an explosive situation that is not of their choosing at an age where young people are falling in love and taking their place in adult life. A bottle thrown in the sea and a correspondence by email nurture the slender hope that their relationship might give them the strength to confront this harsh reality to grapple with it, and thereby ever so slightly change it. Only 60 miles separate them but how many bombings, check-points, sleepless nights and bloodstained days stand between them?
