The artist Omar, the son of the late artist Hassan Youssef, and the Mu’tazilite artist Shams Al-Baroudi, expressed his deep dissatisfaction with the Theater Syndicate’s Acting Professions Festival ignoring his late father and…His father’s name was not mentioned in the promotional video for the clip “Once Upon a Time”, which was presented by artist Tamer Hosni during the opening ceremony.
Omar Hassan Youssef wrote on his Facebook account: With all due respect to Tamer Hosni’s song presented at the Acting Professions Syndicate Festival, he who designed the video needs to review the history of Egyptian theater and art and tell us where Hassan Youssef was in this video? Or perhaps they don’t see the great role he played in Egyptian art, something very strange and laughable. You needed to study a little more than that before you made the song.

On the other hand, the artist’s son, Mohamed Awad, previously expressed his dissatisfaction with the failure to mention his father’s name in the song “Once Upon a Time” by the artist Tamer Hosni, which the festival presented in honor of the symbols of Egyptian art, and in the festival’s management’s first comment on the crisis, it explained via Cairo 24: The crisis with the son of the late artist Mohamed Awad was resolved from the first day of the festival, and nothing happened that was unintended.
