The Cairo Film Connection (CFC) is the industry platform of the Cairo International Film Festival (CIFF.) Launched in 2010, in collaboration with Misr International Films, the CFC was initially established to liaise between Arab filmmakers and the Egyptian film industry, as well as with professionals from the international film scene. In its second round taking place from December 4-6, 2012, the CFC has widened its scope further encouraging filmmakers from all over the world to engage with the Egyptian film scene. Any project, from any part of the world, is encouraged to apply, if the film has an Egyptian connection. Click here to read the call for applications and submissions guidelines. . ..more
