An international women’s film festival was held in Cairo this month to highlight cinematic work by female filmmakers, empower them and promote their presence and role in the film industry.

“Women have played a major role in the development of international cinema. They deserve to have a festival that celebrates their work and provides an opportunity for more women to join the film industry,” Amal Ramses, the president of the festival, told Al-Monitor.
