The Ministry of Social Solidarity held a meeting with representatives of the Aswan International Women&rsquo;s Film Festival to finalize preparations for its tenth edition, scheduled from April 20 to 25. The upcoming edition celebrates women&rsquo;s creative contributions and social issues, honoring pioneering filmmaker Aziza Amir. Officials emphasized that the festival plays a key role in empowering women and young talents, particularly in southern Egypt, while strengthening cultural dialogue and artistic representation. The ministry reaffirmed its continued cooperation with the festival and its commitment to supporting initiatives that highlight social development through film. A major focus of the discussions was the ministry&rsquo;s support for the &ldquo;Films with Impact&rdquo; competition, which features productions by civil society organizations. The initiative aims to enhance the use of film as a tool for documenting and promoting awareness of social issues. The ministry will also back the Popular Initiatives Award and encourage youth participation through social solidarity units in universities.
