Film My Design Co-Lab
Five locally produced short films, having their world premiere at the festival, were created during the 2nd edition of the Film My Design Co-Lab program (2022-2023), formerly known as the Emerging Local Talents program. During the 7-month-long, workshop-oriented mentorship program, aspiring designers and filmmakers were carefully selected to collaborate and respond to the program's theme, “Mission Green,” addressing environmental and climate change issues in Egypt through the lens of design, architecture, and city life. Design and film mentors guided the participants through every aspect of film production, including concept development, shooting, editing, and post-production.
