Cairo International Film Festival has also revealed details about the 5th edition of Cairo Industry Days, which takes place from November 17th to 22nd, and will include a master class and filmmaking workshop presented by Hungarian legendary director Bella Tarr.
The 9-day workshop aims to explore the language of cinema through the eyes of the director, and it is presented for young filmmakers with creative visions in an effort to develop their respective directing skills.

During the workshop, Bella Tarr is expected to propose a specific theme, and participating filmmakers will have to write a scene about the proposed theme and then develop it. From that point, Tarr will guide each filmmaker individually and supervise them as they work on filming the one-page scene.
On the other hand, the Hungarian director also presents during the events of the festival a master class following the screening of his film "Werckmeister Harmonies", during which he is scheduled to discuss his personal methodology of directing, vision, and management of the cast during the filming. This master class is a rare opportunity to learn about Bella Tarr's cinematic world by interacting with the legendary director in person and through his stories and professional lessons stemming from his incredible long experience.&nbsp;
Cairo Industry Days also includes a master class presented by Japanese director Naomi Kawasi, the Jury President of the International Competition. Kawasi will discuss with the audience during her master class her inspiration and the creative process behind some of her important films.
