TWELVE-MONTH HIGHLIGHT(S):
CIFF is undergoing a major change in its management team, a transition that started during the last edition with the appointment of new President Hussein Fahmy and new Director Amir Ramses. Further changes will mark this year’s upcoming edition from November 15 to 24, including the creation of a new section dedicated to documentary films. CIFF still holds its position as the most prestigious launchpad in the regional calendar for Arab films.
