Young talents have bagged most of the prizes awarded during the 24th edition of the National Egyptian Film Festival in its two competitions: best feature film, and best short film, documentary, and animation.
The festival, organized by the ministry of culture to support the Egyptian cinema with money prizes worth 1.2 million Egyptian pounds, was attended by Minister Dr. Ines Abdel Dayem. At the beginning of the ceremony, the festival paid tribute to the late artist Samir Sabri, whose pictures were raised in the big theater, at the Cairo Opera House. During a keynote he addressed, Critic Kamal Ramzi said, “the late artist was indeed a man of festivals who supported all the cinema events in the country.”
