Staff Writer

The Revart Film Festival (RFF) has announced their judging panel and it's a lot more star-studded than you might expect from Egypt’s first vertical film festival. The three member jury will be made up of scriptwriter and actor Tamer Habib, DOP and director Ahmad Al Morsy, and actor and director Ahmed Magdy, who is currently co-starring in the Ramadan series ‘Forsa Tania' with Yasmine Sabri.

The festival will be held entirely online, with this year's submissions centred around the theme of 'quarantine'. The overall aim of the festival is to introduce a modern dimension of creativity to filmmakers in the local ecosystem. The rules for submissions are as follows: films must be shot entirely in a vertical ratio aspect, be three minutes or less, and must be shot inside your home. The RFF will be accepting submissions until April 30th.
