For his first edition at the helm of Egypt’s El Gouna Film Festival, artistic director Andrew Mohsen wants to widen the scope of what, and who, audiences discover on the shores of the Red Sea. “Discovery,” Mohsen asserts, sits at the heart of that vision, which builds on the festival’s established place as a showcase for prize winners and standout titles from Cannes, Venice and Berlin, while expanding the emphasis on emerging filmmakers and films that might otherwise escape the spotlight.
