KINDA ALLOUSH
ACTRESS
EGYPT, SYRIA | SYRIAN
CAREER HIGHLIGHT(S):
One of the most popular and acclaimed actresses in the Arab world after becoming a fixture on Syrian television and then finding fame in Egyptian films and series, Kinda has returned from a five year-break to reclaim her screen status in a string of eye-catching roles directed by women that have allowed her to break free from her “good girl” persona.

TWELVE-MONTH HIGHLIGHT(S):
Her starring role in NEZOUH by Syrian director Soudade Kaadan helped the film win the Audience Award last year the Venice Film Festival’s Orizzonti Extra section; she then appeared in Netflix’s THE SWIMMERS by Sally El Hosaini, which opened the Toronto International Film Festival and was nominated for a BAFTA; and soon she will be seen in YELLOW BUS, an OSN original by Wendy Bednarz in which Kinda makes her English-speaking acting debut alongside a cast of Bollywood actors.
