Zawya Short Film Festival’s third edition ended on a high note with creative and innovative films sweeping the awards. Al-Raed Tom (Major Tom) took home the Red Star Award for Best Short Movie, while “Mn Reehet El Marhoom” (From the Remains of the Dead) received the Misr International Films Award. While the other awards come with a financial remuneration, winners of the Birthmark Film Award only are given a scriptwriting mentorship. Last year, the second edition of the festival took place from 26-29 January, screening 27 short films. Some of the winning films included Discipline by Christophe Saber which won the Red Star Films Best Film Award and Things Stay for a While by Bryony Dunne, which secured Misr International Films Award.
