Afarit El-Asfalt received official selections in numerous international film festivals, and was nominated for the Golden Motogolfiere award at the Nantes Three Continents Festival.
Fawzy's subsequent film, which shared the same level of success, was his 2004 release, Baheb El-Cima (I Love Cinema). This film, like Afarit El-Asfalt, was widely selected in international film festivals and won several prestigious awards, including best film accolades at the Cairo International Film Festival and the Alexandria International Film Festival, as well as 17 other awards.
