Medfest Egypt

Parallel Program

We bring the artistic and the educational experience of MedFest-EG far beyond film screenings, as we try to put together ideas and insights from different groups of healthcare professionals, filmmakers and the general public, in workshops directed towards healthcare awareness and filmmaking. The objective of the parallel program is to add more space for interaction and reflections based on the topics tackled in the film selection.
