Unveiling the poster for the eighth session of the Aswan International Women’s Film Festival

Hisham Ali said about the status of women as a symbol of the eighth session of the festival: “Women always represent the candle that burns for others, and in our design for this year’s Aswan Festival poster, burning does not mean annihilation, but rather a meaning of renewal and life. Women’s sacrifice transforms darkness into light and makes the impossible possible.” From its light emerges the candle flame, which in the same context represents the number of the eighth cycle in the Arabic language, confirming that women in our Arab culture are closer to this giving.”
He continued: “The composition that dominates the design has multiple vital points. The woman who represents the thread of flame stands in a position closer to the ancient Egyptian statues, steadfast and majestic, representing the reservations of the Arab conscience, but at the same time she is a woman who does not belong to a specific gender, but rather represents all the women of the world, and the platform has been transformed.” The third dot represents the date of the eighth session, the place of the signature. By the same logic of sacrifice, the date of the event becomes the signature of the festival poster and the sign that expresses everyone.”
