The session explored potential avenues for collaboration between filmmakers in Egypt and the United States, focusing on joint projects that could drive transformative shifts in the independent film landscape and foster new opportunities for cultural and production exchange.
In his remarks, Fahmy emphasized that Hollywood is no longer the sole epicenter of global cinema, citing rising competition from major markets such as China, which is now producing innovative and advanced cinematic models. He added that Egypt is actively seeking to expand its cinematic partnerships across Asian, African, and European markets in pursuit of broader creative cooperation and international openness.
Egypt’s pavilion is jointly organized by Cairo International Film Festival, El Gouna Film
Festival, and the Egypt Film Commission (EFC), with a mission to position Egypt as a unique global filming destination and a fully integrated production hub. The initiative also supports emerging Egyptian talent through interactive panels and networking events that foster connections with leading figures in the global film industry.
This session stands out as one of the key highlights of Egypt’s participation this year, shedding light on the vast potential Egypt offers as an emerging destination on the global production map.
