Last year I just missed this and I was so ! I'm a film major of sorts and I love all things that have to do with this and Egypt.

So....Yeah. You might see me there one of these years. Enjoy the pix!

Anyone have any experiences at Film Festivals like this?

I can't remember if we went to this last year or not. I know that we got some tickets from my FIL's bank & we went to see an Italian film at the Grand Hyatt.

It was pretty boring. I don't remember the name of the film, but it was about a famous director in Italy who was falling in love with a lady while trying to regain his reputation in films.

We left about 35-40 minutes into the movie.

There are a lot of interesting movies on the schedule for this year. I will ask my FIL if he can get tickets to see one of them.

Thanks for posting, Olivia.

I was there when it was going on last year and it seemed nice. The presenters were all fawning over Omar Sharif.

Yeah my habibi is always bringing up Omar Sharif.
