The 46th Cairo International Film Festival (CIFF), presided over by Hussein Fahmy, kicked off its official press conference with a major announcement; the launch of “Restored Egyptian Classics.”
This year’s festival will run from the 12th to the 21st of November, 2025, under the patronage of Egypt’s Ministry of Culture. During his address, Fahmy expressed deep gratitude to Dr. Ahmed Fouad Hanno, Minister of Culture, for the ministry’s ongoing support of the festival and its commitment to safeguarding Egypt’s cinematic heritage.
The event drew an impressive lineup of stars and filmmakers, including Laila Elwi, Mahmoud Hemida, Sabry Fawaz, director Mando El Adl, and Ahmed Magdy, all celebrating the festival’s continued mission to honor Egyptian cinema.
Hussein Fahmy’s Message of Hope and Cultural Renewal
Addressing the audience, Fahmy began by reflecting on the regional and humanitarian context, stating:
“We are in a celebratory atmosphere following the end of the fighting in Gaza. I extend my gratitude to President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, and to all parties involved in achieving this goal. I wish all the best for our people in Gaza.”
He reminded attendees that the previous edition of CIFF was dedicated to the people of Gaza, with several Palestinian films featured in the lineup.
“We are proud of the success of Egyptian diplomacy and the positive role it continues to play,” Fahmy added.
The CIFF president also took a moment to congratulate Dr. Khaled El-Anany on his appointment as President of UNESCO, calling it “a great honor for all Egyptians.” Fahmy emphasized that Egyptian culture continues to hold a powerful global presence, adding:
“The festival believes it is time for a new cultural renaissance.”
He concluded with a symbolic reflection on the country’s cultural identity:
“The Statue of Egypt’s Renaissance stands as our inspiration for the coming phase, as we step into the true revival Egypt has long awaited.”
Celebrating Egyptian Cinema’s Golden Era
To mark the occasion, CIFF revealed the official poster for its 46th edition, a tribute to the timeless era of Egyptian cinema. The festival’s new initiative will showcase 12 digitally restored Egyptian masterpieces, each representing a pivotal moment in the country’s cinematic history.
