From film screenings to panel discussions and workshops, MedFest isn’t just another festival; it’s a space where cinema sparks conversations about health, transitions, and human stories.
And this year, you don’t want to miss it — especially if you read through to find our special El-Shai discount waiting for you.
What Is MedFest Egypt?
MedFest Egypt is not your typical film festival — it’s where cinema meets real-life challenges. For seven years, the festival has brought together hundreds of creatives, doctors, mental health professionals, and film lovers to explore big topics through storytelling.
With 16,000+ attendees since its launch, MedFest has become a unique platform where films are more than entertainment — they’re a catalyst for conversation, empathy, and change.
MedFest 2025 Theme: Transitions
This year’s theme, Transitions, dives deep into life’s turning points — moments of growth, physical and mental health challenges, and the ever-shifting landscapes of our personal and social lives. Expect stories that push boundaries, spark debate, and make you rethink what it means to change.
So What’s Special This Year?
Running from September 17–21 at AUC Tahrir Square, the festival is packed with events that combine creativity and impact. Here’s what you can look forward to:
- Film screenings from Egypt and across the globe
- Panel discussions featuring filmmakers, doctors, and change-makers
- Interactive workshops on storytelling, filmmaking, and wellness
- Immersive exhibitions that pull you into the conversation
- Masterclasses with industry leaders to sharpen your skills
Why Should You Join?
Because MedFest is more than a festival — it’s a community.
You’ll connect with directors, doctors, and mental health experts. You’ll get to share your own experiences, dive into taboo topics, and leave with new ideas and perspectives. And if you’re a creative, it’s also the perfect space to network, learn, and be seen.
And For Photography Enthusiasts, There’s a Fujifilm Photography Competition
This year also brings an exciting new addition: the Fujifilm Photography Competition.
If you’re an Egyptian photographer, here’s your chance to capture the theme Transitions — moments of growth, change, or transformation. The winning entry will take home a Fujifilm X-T30II kit, and shortlisted photos will be exhibited at the festival.
