The Second Luxor Egyptian & European Film Festival
From the 19th to the 25th of January 2014
The Luxor Egyptian & European Film Festival is organized by Noon Foundation for Culture and Arts (NOONCA), with the contribution of the Egyptian Ministry of Culture as well as public and private organizations in Egypt and Europe. The second edition of the festival will be held from the 19th to the 25th of January, 2014.
The festival’s main goal is to foster knowledge and promote dissemination in Egypt of high quality cinematographic and audiovisual works directed by Egyptian and European filmmakers, and to develop Egyptian-European dialogue in the field of cinema. The Luxor Egyptian & European Film Festival seeks to encourage Egyptian and European directors through the prizes awarded and to attract a new audience for cinema in Upper Egypt.
The choice of the city of Luxor as a location for this festival has the purpose of conquering a new audience in a region where theatres have disappeared. Noon Foundation for Art and Culture has the support of the national and local cultural authorities.
The challenge is great: we want to attract the audience of Upper Egypt to discover a European cinema rich with its talents and diversity, and to promote Egyptian cinema which has lost its natural audience in Upper Egypt after the disappearance of movie theatres during the last decades.
Furthermore, the organization of the festival in Luxor aims to encourage cultural tourism in this historical and mythical city. The guests of the Luxor Egyptian & European Film Festival will be able to participate in all the Festival’s activities and spend lovely cinematographic and cultural evenings there after having visited the ancient sites of this city in the morning.
This Year our honory president will be the son of upper Egypt the great poet Abd El Rahman El Abnoudy.
The Luxor Egyptian & European Film Festival is made up of the following sections:
* A section for long feature films produced in 2012 – 2013.
* A section for short fiction films produced in 2012 – 2013.
* Close-up on Independent Egyptian Cinema.
* A close-up on the New German cinema
* A tribute paid to the Egyptian actor Nour El Sherif.
* A tribute paid to the Russian Director Vladimir Menshov.
* A Section for Classical Egyptian Cinema; the festival will focus on different kinds of Egyptian Cinema every year.
