In a statement, Hussein Fahmy said: “With the announcement of our upcoming edition, we recognise the immense effort required to face its challenges and achieve the success we aspire to while learning from past experiences. We are confident that this edition will leave a distinctive mark on the history of the Cairo International Film Festival. I am particularly excited as we began preparations the day after the previous edition concluded.”
