Arab Cinema and Theaters
Today, Friday, November 13, 2026, at 4 p.m. at the Open-Air Theater, Cairo Industry Days will host “Cinema First: How Do Theaters Change the Fate of Arab Films?” The session will feature Cedric Aoun, Shahinaz Al Akkad, Nisreen Al Raddi, and Dr. Atef Al Moushi, and will be moderated by Mohamed Shawky. The discussion will explore how commercial success in markets such as Cairo and Riyadh shapes streaming platforms’ decisions to acquire or produce films, as well as the challenges facing independent Arab cinema—including limited screening opportunities and cinemas’ reliance on American films. It will also consider how the audience success of films can be leveraged to make room for works that major multiplexes are reluctant to screen.
