The SITFY was founded and headed by Mazen El-Gharabawy, with Engy El-Bestawy as its artistic director. Its 10th edition will also hold a special celebration for honouring late artist Samiha Ayoub, who passed away last June and was the festival's honorary president. Elham Shaheen Shaheen was born in Cairo in 1960 and graduated from the Institute of Theatrical Arts in 1982. She started her career with the help of director Kamal Yassin, who gave her a role in his TV play, Hooreya men Al Marikh (Mermaid from Mars). Her films include Al-Nemr wa Al-Ontha (The Tiger and The Woman, 1987); Bawabat Iblees (Satan's Gates, 1993); Afarit Al Asfalt (The Asphalt Demons, 1996); Wall of Heroism (1998); Mahrous, the Minister's Attaché (1999); I Love Cinema (2004), Bedoon Reqaba (Without Survilence, 2009); and Al Harami wa Al Abeet (The Thief and The Naive, 2013). Her TV series include Ayam Al Mounira (Al Mounira Days, 1994), Wanis' Daily Life (1994), The Game (1999), Devil's Tunnel (2008), The Fall of the Caliphate (2010), Malika fee al-Manfa (Queen in the Exile, 2010), and Heatwave (2013). Among Shaheen's latest films are Restart (2025), Mister Ex (2013), Hazr Tagaoul (Curfew, 2013), and TV series Hesbet Omry (Toil & Pursuit, 2025), Seed El-Nass (Master of the People, 2025), Alfrido (2025), and Be Tolooa Al-Rouh (Backbreaking, 2022). Over the past few years, Shaheen has received several awards and recognitions.
