Intishaal Al Timimi is stepping down as chief of Egypt's El Gouna Film Festival which will run Oct. 24-Nov. 1, 2024
Intishal Al Timimi, founder and chief of Egypt’s El Gouna Film Festival, is stepping down from fest’s top leadership role. Al Timimi – who since the event’s launch in 2017 in the Red Sea resort town of El Gouna, 250 miles south of Cairo, has rapidly put El Gouna on the international festival map, proving its mettle in promoting the cream of the region’s cinematic crop while also providing key support in nurturing new works through the informal CineGouna market – will will continue to work closely with the festival as a member of its international advisory board. “I would like, on behalf of each one of us at El Gouna Film Festival, to express our deepest appreciation to Intishal Al-Timimi for his outstanding leadership and countless contributions,” Samih Sawiris said in a statement.
