An LMGI collaboration with the Egypt
Film Commission and the Egyptian Media
Production City (EMPC) was formalized
by the signing of a "Memorandum of
Understanding" (MOU) by Guild President
Rakich and Ahmed Badawy, general manager
of the Egypt Film Commission. Also attending
was the Film Commission marketing
manager Riham Elghazaly.
Said Rakich, "Our MOU with the Egypt Film
Commission marks an exciting step in
strengthening global partnerships. Egypt's
rich cinematic heritage and breathtaking
locations make it a natural partner for
the LMGI as we continue to champion
international cooperation and possible
networking opportunities for our members."
CIFF President Hussein Fahmy agrees.
"Through these partnerships, we aim
to highlight Egypt as a world-class
cinematic destination with exceptional
filming locations and state-of-the-art
infrastructure."
LMGI President John Rakich and
VP Alison Taylor, along with LMGI
members Markus Bensch and Ian
Easterbrook, were guests of the
Egypt Film Commission at the
45th Annual Cairo International
Film Festival's (CIFF) Industry
Days held last November.
