The British University in Egypt International Student Film Festival (BUESFF) returns for its second edition with the theme "Bridging Horizons: Stories That Connect Us." This year, we spotlight the power of storytelling to transcend borders and foster empathy across cultural, social, and geographic divides.

This theme invites filmmakers to reflect on the shared human experience—whether through cross-cultural narratives, global issues, or personal stories that resonate across continents. It embodies our mission to promote creativity, dialogue, and cultural exchange through student filmmaking.

    At the 2025 film festival, my film titled ‘White Keys’ took 2nd place, but I was not given any official document confirming my win. I kindly ask if there is any solution to this. I am from Uzbekistan.

    The Zoom session for international directors never started, and they never answered any emails. Very poor communication from the festival, and therefore no experience at all other than the selection logos.
