In light of the rapid regional and international developments, and the coincidence of the festival’s press conference—held on October 12—with the Sharm El-Sheikh Peace Summit led by President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and attended by numerous world leaders, the festival’s management found that the previous poster no longer reflected the spirit of the moment.
Stemming from the festival’s cultural and humanistic role as a platform that embodies cinema as the conscience of the world, the management decided to release a new official poster that conveys the values of peace, light, and hope in the face of war and destruction.
Poster Analysis
At the heart of the image, a radiant passage of light opens the way for a white dove soaring toward the horizon—a clear symbol of peace, hope, and liberation, and of cinema’s role as a path to freedom and human elevation.
The scene is bathed in shades of gold and bronze, with luminous gradients streaming from the depth of the image toward the horizon, as if heralding a new sunrise emerging from the shadows. Olive branches grow along the edges of the frame, restoring the cycle of life, while two cinematic ribbons encircle the composition—transforming the story into a shared memory on screen. It is a tribute to the art that rises from the ruins, a voice for the human spirit that never dies in cinema’s memory, where all elements converge into a single vision guiding the eye from rubble to open sky, from pain to hope.
