Hassan at Cairo Film Fest
Palestinian director Fairouz Hassan is taking part in the 47th Cairo International Film Festival, held from November 11 to 20, 2026, with her short film *A Gentle Butterfly*, which is competing in the festival’s official short-film competition. The film will have its first screening in the Arab world. In it, she explores her feelings for her absent father, who was imprisoned in Israeli occupation prisons. The Culture Resource’s “Destinations” program enabled her to travel from Palestine to Egypt and attend screenings of the film and events at Cairo Industry Days. Each year, the program awards between 25 and 30 grants, worth up to €7,000 each, to support travel and participation in cultural and artistic events.
