Ellise Shafer Egypt’s El Gouna Film Festival has now been postponed indefinitely due to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
The festival was previously rescheduled to Oct. 27- Nov. 2 from its original dates of Oct. 13- 20. Organizers announced on Thursday that the fest had been postponed and a new date has not been set.
The festival has also donated LE 5 million (Egyptian pounds) to aid “the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.” “In light of the deeply distressing circumstances prevailing in Gaza, the management of El Gouna Film Festival has made the conscious decision to postpone the forthcoming sixth edition of the festival,” the statement reads. “A charitable amount of LE 5 Million has been donated to fortify the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, in partnership with the Sawiris Foundation for Social Development and the Egyptian Red Crescent Society.
These measures resonate profoundly with the spirit of solidarity extended by the El Gouna Film Festival’s administration toward the Palestinian people and the civilian population of Gaza.
