Cairo to Host Fifth Francophone Film Festival in May 2025

Pasant Elzaitony The fifth edition of the Cairo Francophone Film Festival is set to take place from May 26 to May 30, 2025, in the heart of Egypt's capital, promising an enriched cultural celebration of French-speaking cinema from around the globe. Announced by Festival President Dr. Yasser Mohab, the 2025 edition marks a significant strategic shift in the festival's calendar. Traditionally held in November or December, the event will now be hosted annually in May, beginning with this upcoming edition. The move aims to enhance international participation and attract a broader selection of debut films from the Francophone world. Dr. Mohab emphasized that the change was a deliberate decision based on careful analysis of the global festival circuit, particularly those focused on Francophone cinema. 'May offers greater opportunities to showcase a wider range of premieres and to engage more stars and members of the Francophone communities residing in Egypt,' he said. 'This shift will enrich the festival's artistic competition and provide audiences with a more diverse and engaging experience.' The Cairo Francophone Film Festival 2025 will feature an expanded program that includes a variety of film screenings, workshops, critical discussions, and interactive events tailored for both general audiences and young cinema enthusiasts. The festival is expected to draw renowned filmmakers, critics, and cultural figures from across Egypt and the international Francophone community, spanning Africa, Europe, Asia, the Americas, and Oceania. Dr. Mohab added that the new timing is also intended to position the festival as a premier platform for meaningful cinematic and cultural exchange. 'We are working to make the Cairo Francophone Film Festival a leading space for serious Francophone film and cultural events, while strengthening partnerships with film institutions and festivals around the world,' he noted. First launched in 2021, the Cairo Francophone Film Festival was established to celebrate cinematic excellence across the 88 member states and governments of the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie. Since its inception, the festival has successfully hosted hundreds of world premieres and earned widespread acclaim for its role in promoting global cultural dialogue through film.
