Ahead of its incoming 46th edition, the Cairo International Film Festival (CIFF) has announced the latest addition to its well-established Cairo Film Market (November 15th–20th): The Cairo Pro-Meet — a dedicated space for meaningful exchanges between filmmakers and leading industry professionals from around the world.

This initiative offers participants the opportunity to join pre-arranged, small-group meetings with leading professionals, including but not limited to producers, distributors, sales agents, festival programmers, commissioning editors, financiers, and representatives from streaming platforms and funding bodies, alongside other key players shaping today’s film industry.

Structured to facilitate focused, time-efficient conversations, Cairo Pro-Meet enables participants to seek targeted advice, explore business opportunities, and build connections that can develop into long-term collaborations.

Participation in this novel programme is an exclusive benefit for Industry Gold badge holders, granting them priority access to decision-makers actively involved in developing, financing, and distributing films worldwide.

By introducing Cairo Pro-Meet, the CIFF reinforces its position as a bridge between Arab and international cinema, providing a professional platform where filmmakers can strengthen networks, gain strategic insight, and expand their reach in the global market.
