After years of limited participation, Egypt made an impressive return at the 78th Cannes Film Festival. Not only did it showcase compelling films, but it also won the Best Pavilion Design Award, which highlights the country&rsquo;s renewed ambition in cinema.
This year, Egypt presented a unified pavilion that included the Egypt Film Commission, the Cairo International Film Festival, and the El Gouna Film Festival. This collaboration aimed to strengthen Egypt&rsquo;s presence in the global film industry and highlight its cinematic potential.
Representatives from the three institutions received the award in a celebratory atmosphere. Festival organizers and visitors praised the pavilion&rsquo;s striking design, engaging activities, and professional representation of Egypt&rsquo;s film industry.
Also, Cairo International Film Festival congratulates the engineer Sherine Farghal, designer of the award-winning Egyptian Pavilion that received the "Best Design" prize at the 2025 March&eacute; du Film of Cannes Film Festival. In a statement to the Cairo Festival's press center, Sherine Farghal said: "My joy is indescribable with this honor. Designing the Egyptian Pavilion was both a privilege and a great responsibility, especially with the collaboration of three major entities: Cairo Festival, El Gouna Film Festival, and Egypt Film Commission. We wanted the world to see Egypt through the eyes of great filmmakers - where rich heritage meets pulsating modernity full of creativity."

During the festival, the Egypt Pavilion hosted daily events such as panel discussions, meetings, and receptions that attracted strong international interest.&nbsp;
The delegation from Egyptian Media Production City led impactful sessions showcasing Egypt&rsquo;s modern production facilities, filming incentives, and diverse filming locations. The Egyptian Film Commission highlighted successful international productions filmed in Egypt and shared its vision to attract more global collaborations in the future.&nbsp;
While Egypt is famous for its ancient history, it also has a rich legacy in cinema. At the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, Egypt didn&rsquo;t just participate&mdash;it made a bold statement. From film premieres to industry panels and the award-winning pavilion, Egypt is reclaiming its status as a leader in Arab and international cinema.
