Egypt is preparing for the Annual International Film Festival in Cairo on the 28th of November. The festival, which is now the talk of the town, has decided to change the grand award from the shape of a golden pyramid to the key of life which was one of the most significant symbols of the Pharos.

Latin America will be the guest of honor in the conference on global piracy which the festival wishes to address.
The festival will also include a slide show about recent works which have won the prestigious award in the past such as the Egyptian film "Tufaha" or "Apple" which was the only Egyptian movie ever to win the grand award.

Also participating are movies from Finland, Greece, China, India in addition to many Egyptian works such as "Lailet Sukoot Baghdad," "Al Safara Fil Imara" and "Imarat Yakbyan". In addition, two movies will be shown in tribute to the late Najib Mahfooz.
