Mohamed Mandour
Cultural leaders, filmmakers and artists gathered at Cairo's historic Taz Palace to celebrate Egyptian cinema as part of a promotional event for the UNESCO-Sharjah Prize for Arab Culture.
Held under the theme 'Egyptian Cinema: A Catalyst for Cultural Diplomacy and Intercultural Dialogue,' the event highlighted the role of cinema in fostering cross-cultural understanding and building bridges between communities.
The evening featured a panel discussion with former laureates of the UNESCO-Sharjah Prize, including Aya Tarek, a visual artist from Egypt and recipient of the 20th edition of the award. Tarek and other speakers shared insights on how creativity can drive social change and promote a more inclusive world.
The UNESCO-Sharjah Prize for Arab Culture, established in 1998, recognizes individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to the promotion of Arab culture through literature, the visual arts, cinema, and heritage preservation.
Organizers said the event aimed to spotlight the enduring impact of Arab cultural expression and its relevance in today's global dialogue.
