The film was shown at La Berlinale 2010 section “The International Forum of New Cinema.” In La Baie du Renard, a short film selected to close Critics Week (Semaine de la Critique) at Cannes Film Festival 2009, Sednaoui starred alongside Pierre Torreton.

Sednaoui co-directed with Martina Gili the documentary Kullu Taman (Everything is Good). The film showcases Egyptians not covered by mainstream media by telling the stories of characters who, despite their differences of age and belief, share the sudden discovery of what is usually referred to as “freedom of expression.” The film depicts the countryside of Luxor.
