The Cairo Francophone Film Festival (CFFF) and Wadi El Nile Stio Life Science (SLS) have created a competition for best screenwriting that shows the reality and spread awareness about incurable diseases.
Prizes will be awarded to scriptwriters and directors with work that addresses all medical and health topics creatively and innovatively, far from the norm.
The contest is open to everyone, including media professionals, writers, civil society, and anyone who can contribute to the national project.
The competition was announced during a panel discussion titled "Health and Cinema Drama.. Horizons of Integration and Development in the New Republic”.
It was held as part of the activities of the third day of the fourth edition of the CFFF, headed by writer and film critic Dr. Yasser Al-Moheb, on Sunday night.
The symposium was moderated by art critic Ahmed Saad El Din and attended by a large number of those interested and specialized in filmmaking and people with disabilities.
A documentary film was shown at the beginning of the panel discussion about important cinematic films that discussed various diseases.
The panel comes within the framework of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi’s initiative to rebuild the Egyptian person.
It sheds light on the role of major national companies in the field of medical and therapeutic services in supporting the efforts of the political leadership and the state towards providing the latest health solutions for Egyptians and contributing to raising the standard of health and life of the citizens.
The panel also underscores the role the cinema and visual arts must play to highlight, support, and make the state's efforts to serve the health sector in Egypt a success.
