A new section will also be introduced this year featuring non-French speaking films in an effort to promote foreign films that have received support from French organizations.
Directed by Sherif El Bendary and written by Ahmed Amer, based on Ibrahim El Batout's story, Ali, the Goat and Ibrahim follows a strange love story of a young man living in a rough neighborhood. He travels across Egypt on the recommendation of a psychic along with Ibrahim who is almost driven mad by the voices he hears in his head.
