Egyptian director Yousef Shahin has composed the music for one of the songs on the soundtrack of his new film Sukout Hansawar (Quiet, We Will Shoot). The song was written by Kawthar Mustafa and sung by the Tunisian singer Latifa, according to the daily Al Ahram. 

Latifa contributed three songs to the film; Najeeb Bayyoumi helped write them. 

Shahin returned from Paris with versions of his film ready for screening, after his one month and a half month journey during which he put the finishing touches on his film. 

The new movie will be screened August 22 at more than 30 venues. 

For the flick, Shahin sought the help of French photographer Pierre and French sound engineer Giroom.
