As the Cairo Intl. Film Festival (Nov. 11-20) marks 50 years since its founding, its industry arm is looking beyond the annual event, introducing new programs to provide longer-term support for filmmakers.

“My vision is not to start very big,” says Mohamed Sayed Abdel-Rehim, head of Cairo Industry Days. “Every year, we introduce a new program, or maybe a couple of programs, but we start them small in order to make the progress steady.”
