The 2025 Cairo Film Festival showcases Egyptian filmmakers' authentic, socially aware stories with inclusive access and regional collaboration.

The 46th Cairo International Film Festival, running Nov. 12–21, 2025, highlights a new generation of Egyptian filmmakers crafting authentic, socially conscious stories. Films like "One More Show," a Gaza-set documentary on artists performing for displaced children, and "Complaint No. 713317," a satirical take on societal stagnation, reflect a shift toward personal, emotionally honest narratives. The festival emphasizes inclusivity with affordable tickets, outreach programs, and a focus on emerging voices, while showcasing restored classics and fostering regional collaboration through new partnerships.
