DUBAI: The El-Gouna Film Festival has been pushed back one month and will now run from Oct. 23- Oct.31, organizers announced this week. This decision was made in line with the global health and safety measures amid the coronavirus crisis. “Several film festivals have been impacted by the ongoing global Covid-19 pandemic and their return to the scene will send a positive signal that the world is on its way to normalcy,” festival director Intishal Al-Timimi said in a released statement. Egyptian actress Bushra Rozza, who is also the co-founder of the festival, said the organizers are constantly looking at how they “may adapt to the current situation and continue to play their roles in developing the industry regionally and internationally.”
