The Cairo International Film Festival (CIFF) is bracing for its 46th edition, which will unspool from 12-21 November. The full programme was announced at a press conference in the Egyptian capital on 12 October. “This year, we did not focus on the quantity of films; instead, we prioritised presenting each movie in the most meaningful way possible for audiences. Still, despite this selectivity, our programme features 80 feature-length films spanning a wide range of genres – fiction, documentary, animation and experimental works – coming from more than 45 countries,” says Mohamed Tarek, the newly appointed artistic director of CIFF, in a press release.
