CAIRO – 5 February 2018: The 2nd edition of Aswan International Woman Film festival announced that this year’s edition will be honoring the name of the famous Algerian militant Djamila Bouhired. The festival will kick off from February 20 to February 26

The festival released its 2nd edition poster designed by Tamer Ragab. The poster is a white rectangular space dominated by the face of a girl inside a large vacuum.
This face, which is representative of women in general, is made up of pictures of Aswan. The images were mixed in a way to show the imagination and charm of cinema and the dreams of the Egyptian women. Accompanying the text at the bottom is a portrait of the sculptor Dgamila Bouhired.
