When El Gouna Film Festival launched in 2017, the idea of a film
festival in a purpose-built Red Sea resort town was still unproven.
Nine editions later, co-founder Amr Mansi proudly looks at the
festival’s growing industry section, an unprecedented number of
Arab films, and a growing number of prominent guests. In between
appointments, the former top athlete, entrepreneur and CEO found
some time to talk with Lidanoir about what inspired the festival,
the Egyptian audience’s unique connection to cinema, and what
international stars he would most love to see at El Gouna.
