Where Stories and Spaces Meet: Cred main Sponsors the 46th Cairo International Film Festival

Continuing its commitment to supporting Egyptian culture, art, and talent, real estate developer Cred proudly announces its role as the main sponsor of the 46th Cairo International Film Festival (CIFF), set to take place on November 12, 2025.

This strategic partnership reflects Cred’s dedication to empowering the arts and celebrates over a century of Egyptian cinematic excellence. It also reinforces CIFF’s global standing as a Category “A” festival, recognized by the International Federation of Film Producers Associations (FIAPF) in Paris.

Cred’s sponsorship embraces the theme “Every Story Happens in a Place”, highlighting the company’s belief that real estate is not merely about constructing spaces—but about creating environments that inspire stories, shape lives, and reflect individuality.

In this regard, actor Hussein Fahmy, President of Cairo International Film Festival, stated: “We are truly delighted to welcome Cred to the Cairo Festival family as a Main Partner for this edition. This collaboration embodies our shared vision to support the arts and elevate public taste. It reinforces the festival’s status as a cultural and cinematic platform that unites creativity with awareness, preserving its legacy that has thrived for over four decades”.

Eng. Ahmed Mansour, CEO of Cred, expressed his pride in supporting one of the world’s most prominent cultural events: “We are honored to partner with the Cairo International Film Festival, Egypt’s platform for cultural dialogue and authentic artistic expression. Cinema and real estate share a common purpose—both tell stories and build worlds that inspire and influence. Through this collaboration, we hope to contribute to enhancing Egypt’s image as a regional hub for art and culture, and to share its message of peace through the power of cinema as a soft power”.

This partnership comes as part of Cred’s continuous efforts to support cultural and artistic initiatives, following its Platinum Sponsorship of the first edition of the Egyptian Drama Festival, as well as its ongoing support of young talents in various cultural, artistic, and sports fields—reflecting its core values of responsibility, commitment, and social engagement.

It is the only festival in the region accredited as a Category “A” event by the FIAPF in Paris and is held annually under the auspices of Egypt’s Ministry of Culture.
