Sheref Mandour discusses Cinema Festivals Union meeting
The articles discuss the controversy surrounding the establishment of a new union for film festivals in Egypt. Producer Sherif Mandour clarified that the meeting was preliminary and that the final form or objectives of the union have not yet been approved. He denied that the goal was to abolish the Supreme Festival Committee, emphasizing the necessity of its continued existence, without discussing the crisis facing the Alexandria International Film Festival. The union aims to unify the efforts of civil society festivals, achieve greater bargaining power, and reduce costs, with a clear emphasis that this initiative is not meant to compete but to collaborate. A select group of festivals attended the meeting, with Cairo and El Gouna Festivals absent due to their administrative situations. The members decided to prepare a working paper to organize the union’s future activities.
