About the event
What is Cairo International Film Festival?
Founded in 1976, the Cairo International Film Festival is accredited by FIAPF and operates under the Ministry of Culture. Its programme includes the International Competition, Horizons of Arab Cinema, shorts, galas and masterclasses, plus the Cairo Industry Days. The festival is traditionally held in November; the 47th edition ran from 11 to 20 November 2026. Previous editions have reported 153 films and 45,000 tickets distributed, alongside more than ten million digital interactions.
Filmmakers, stars, critics and large public audiences fill the Opera House grounds over ten days. Sponsors and partners need fast red-carpet photography, short video and social content. The festival is followed closely by Arab and international media. Partners that plan photography, red-carpet video and social posts in advance get the most from their presence during the festival and afterwards, when highlights continue to circulate online.
