Cairo International Film Festival extends its sincerest pride and congratulations to the great Egyptian people on the inauguration of the Grand Egyptian Museum. This magnificent cultural edifice stands as a new icon added to Egypt’s timeless treasures, in this historic moment that embodies the greatness of the Egyptian will, under the patronage and vision of an ambitious political leadership that turned a dream into reality.
The inauguration of this monumental edifice is the culmination of a generations-long dream and a message to the entire world that Egypt, with its rich history, continues to captivate humanity with its creativity and its ability to preserve its heritage and present it in its most splendid form. It is a window through which the future looks upon the greatness of the past, and a beacon that radiates the light of art and civilization.
On this exceptional occasion, which completes a journey of diligent effort and hard work, the Festival is keen to extend special appreciation to the artist Farouk Hosny, the former Minister of Culture. With his artistic sense and insightful vision, he laid the foundation stone for this great dream, initiating a long journey that has culminated today in this achievement, which is a source of pride for every Egyptian.
