Replacement of the Cairo Film Festival poster.. What is the relationship between the Sharm El-Sheikh summit?

Dubai, United Arab Emirates - On Wednesday, the organizers of the Cairo International Film Festival issued a new poster for the 46th session, instead of the poster that was revealed a few days ago, in conjunction with a press conference regarding the activities of the upcoming session between November 12 and 21. A statement issued by the festival said: “Given the acceleration of regional and international events, and the coincidence of the press conference for the 46th session of the Cairo International Film Festival, which was held on October 12, with the Sharm El-Sheikh Peace Summit led by President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi with the participation of a large number of world leaders, the festival management saw that the previous poster was no longer appropriate to the spirit of the stage.”

The statement added: “Based on the role of the cultural and humanitarian festival, as a platform that expresses cinema as the conscience of the world, the administration decided to issue a new official poster, which reflects the values ​​of peace, light, and hope in the face of war and destruction.” In the depth of the image: “A bright port of light opens the way for a white dove flying towards the horizon, a direct indication of peace, hope, and liberation, and the role of cinema as a path to freedom and human advancement.”

“The scene is flooded with shades of gold and bronze, in gradations of light creeping from the depth of the picture towards the horizon, as if a new sunrise emerges from among the shadows. While olive branches grow at the edges of the frame to restore the cycle of life, and the scene is surrounded by two cinematic tapes that transform the story into a memory that can be shared on the screen..

A tribute to the art that rises from the rubble, and a voice to the human being who does not die in the memory of cinema. The elements combine into one meaning that directs the eye from the ruins to the open space and from pain to hope,” according to the analysis presented by the Cairo International Film Festival of the new poster for its 46th session.
