Cairo Film Festival answers journalists
The article discusses the efforts of the Cairo International Film Festival management in overseeing the 47th edition, focusing on financial challenges and the reasons behind the absence of Hollywood stars at the event. The festival's chairman, Hussein Fahmy, explained that the current budget does not allow for hosting Hollywood celebrities, as inviting a single star costs around $500,000—an amount beyond the festival's means. He emphasized that the festival's budget is independent of changes in the Ministry of Culture and that the focus remains on inviting important cinematic figures from various countries worldwide. He also stated that the festival rejects participating with artificial intelligence films due to the difficulty in evaluating them. Fahmy pointed out that the program includes screenings from productions of multiple nations and features a special section for children and families. Additionally, the article touched on initiatives for film restoration and festival development, including the addition of new activities and a new headquarters at the Opera House.
