The third Luxor African Film Festival will begin on Tuesday. The festival will open with a screening of Flora Gomes's The Children’s Republic, a joint production between Portugal and Guinea-Bissau, about a small, fictional country in Africa where children rule after every adult abandons the place. The country prospers, but the children can no longer grow. The film's director, as well as its star, Danny Glover, will be present at the opening ceremony in Luxor's famous temple. He will be receiving an honourary award for his long and fruitful career in film. In the Long Narratives competition, Egypt is taking part with The Mice Room, while in the Short Narratives and Short Documentaries competition, Egypt’s contenders are El-Bostan El-Said Street, Sidhom and Erkie. In the Freedom Films competition, Egypt’s entry is Logical Revolt, while I Am the Film Director, another Egyptian film, will be screened in the out-of-competition selection. Forty-one African countries are participating in the festival with more than 55 films, in addition to nine non-African countries taking part in the Freedom Films competition. Source: Ahram Online
