Cannes-Winning ‘Sirat’ Director to Host Cairo Film Fest. Masterclass
Laxe will take part in a conversation moderated by CIFF Artistic Director Mohamed Tarek at the Cairo Opera House.
The 47th edition of the Cairo International Film Festival (CIFF), running from November 11th to 20th, will host a masterclass with Spanish filmmaker Oliver Laxe, director of the Cannes-winning film ‘Sirat’, on November 18th.
Laxe will take part in a conversation moderated by CIFF Artistic Director Mohamed Tarek at the Cairo Opera House’s Open Air Theatre, from 2 PM to 3:30 PM. Tickets for the masterclass are available through Tazkarti.com.
Laxe’s relationship with CIFF goes back to 2016, when his second feature, Mimosas, won the Golden Pyramid for Best Film at the festival’s 38th edition. A decade later, the Spanish director returns with Sirāt, which also features in this year’s festival programme, following its Jury Prize win at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.
The masterclass is part of the festival’s wider industry programme, bringing international filmmakers and cinema professionals to Cairo for conversations on filmmaking, creative practice and the industry.
