The Cairo International Film Festival is an annual internationally accredited film festival held in Cairo Opera House.[1] It was established in 1976 and has taken place every year since its inception, except for 2011 and 2013, when it was cancelled due to budget limitations and political instability.[2][3] It is the only international competitive feature film festival recognized by the FIAPF in the Arab world and Africa, as well as the oldest in this category.[4][5]
