The El Gouna Film Festival (GFF) pulled off an incredible two-week programme of film screenings, masterclasses and workshops for their 5th edition. The fortnight of films culminated in a glamourous red-carpet awards ceremony.The annual event is a key platform for Arab Cinema and it also continues to attract submissions from international filmmaking talent. However, there were questions as to whether the event would go ahead after a fire broke out in the Festival Plaza just 24 hours before the opening. This was brought under control, with locals working through the night, and the event was able to forge ahead.
