Medfest Egypt

It is a touring international short films festival which is the 1st of its kind in the MENA region merging the filmmaking, arts, development sector and the health worlds through a unique cinematic experience. Medfest Egypt was founded in 2017, screening a selection of high quality/award winning films raising questions about their social shadows followed by workshops and discussions with a selected panel of experts from the filmmaking world and the healthcare world. We aim to impact the Art, health and Cultural sectors in a completely new and creative way, by raising public awareness of the nature of certain health topics, stigmas, social topics & conditions; as well as performing workshops and panel discussions on such topics in order to connect different sectors and provide networking opportunities. We hosted events in collaboration with international academic institutions such as the RCOG (UK), Tunis, Weill-Cornell Medicine (New York), as well as prestigious film festivals such as Cairo International Film Festival (CIFF) and Gouna Film Festival (GFF)
