Aswan International Women Film Festival
The AIWFF poster features a woman draped in cinema tape and adorned with ancient Egyptian accessories.
The poster was designed by Egyptian artist Hisham Ali, who was praised for his design for the sixth edition’s poster.
In the seventh edition, the AIWFF will honour Egyptian actress Nabila Ebeid, Egyptian media personality Dorria Sharaf El-Din, Dutch film director Mijke de Jong and Tunisian filmmaker Selma Baaccar.
The festival will be screening dozens of films competing in its various categories and parallel programmes.
It is also hosting various workshops like the New Aswan Cinema Project Programme, the Film Project Development Workshop, Screenwriting, Animation for Adults and Animation for Children.
The AIWFF is sponsored by a number of public and private entities including the Ministry of Culture and Aswan governorate.
Over 34 films were screened in the sixth edition in February last year. The festival honoured Egyptian actress Sawsan Badr, director Inaam Mohamed Aly, French actress and director Marilyne Canto and Somali political strategist Hibaaq Osman.
