El Gouna Film Festival
The El Gouna Film Festival (GFF ) is an annual nine-day event film festival established in 2017 by the CEO and co-founder of the festival Amr Mansi. Inspired by El Gouna’s diverse culture and picturesque 
environment, GFF is held in the midst of a groundbreaking cultural hub and the spectacular structure of the Gouna Conference and Cultural Center in the Red Sea resort town of El Gouna, Egypt.
The festival is a creative event aims to support Egyptian and Arab talents and to enhance business opportunities for the Arab cinema where a wide range of meetings will be organized between Arab and international film artists, filmmakers, directors, producers, and distributors. In addition, the event will present round-tables, workshops, red carpet, opening ceremony, screenings and panel discussions.
El Gouna Film Festival has become the most important starry industry event in Egypt and for the Middle East. It ups Egypt’s film industry game, and set El Gouna as the uncontested art destination in the region.
The festival presents a selection of the newest films from around the globe, and the festival gives special attention to films with humanitarian content. Also in a Special Presentations section iconic films from the past that continue to be cherished by film-loving audiences are screened.
After four consecutive editions the sentiment still echoes throughout every year more and more. Even with the tight anti-COVID-19 preventive measures in place the fourth edition of ElGouna Festival was done, the red carpet was designed in a way that helped maintain social distancing, with the festival’s opening ceremony held in a new location that is twice bigger than the one used in the past three editions. El Gouna Film Festival renews its pledge to nurture and support the art of cinema for the 5th year in a row. The 5th edition of CineGouna Platform is scheduled to take place, October 16-21, 2021 in the resort town of El Gouna.
While it’s the place to celebrate the very best of Arab cinema, it’s also one of our favorite events to see the latest looks from Middle Eastern fashion designers where their styles become trends. The festival gives young designers and small brands the opportunity to have a platform to get their name put on the world stage with film stars wearing their creations.
Each year people wait for the festival to see the actresses’ dresses and looks, for that actresses try to be creative with their looks as much as they can, a lot of them succeed in this mission and glowed in the festival, here are some of the best looks:
