Cairo Cinema Days is a film festival, organized by Zawya Cinema, that offers a hub for Independent Arab films that didn’t get the chance to be screened in theatres; but received praise at international Festivals.

It was stated that 34 films will be screened in selected cinemas in Midtown Cairo, Karim and Cimatheque, in addition to Zamalek cinema.
