An exceptional session of the El Gouna Film Festival will be held after it was postponed from its scheduled date last October due to the events in Gaza, after adding a program dedicated to Palestinian cinema, in addition to the festival program, to include the screening of a group of films about Palestine in cooperation with the Palestinian Film Foundation.
The sixth session of the El Gouna Film Festival includes 23 films in the feature films competition, 15 films in the feature documentary films competition, and 14 films in the short films competition, in addition to a group of films that will be screened outside the competition.
