Abstract Egypt's Coptic community emerged dramatically onto the public sphere with the release of the film Bahibb Issima in the summer of 2004. The film's depiction of Copts has created a national conversation between Copts and Muslims with the latter realizing not only how little they know about the Copts, but about how strikingly similar the two communities actually are. The film's realism has been met with contestation from orthodox factions within the Coptic community while the State's ability to control the representation of Copts in the public sphere has been challenged by the filmmakers themselves. | ||
