This agreement is a new step towards placing Egypt at the forefront of global filmmaking destinations and reflects the Egyptian Film Commission’s commitment to supporting the film industry.
The Egypt Film Commission has signed an agreement with the Location Managers Guild International, represented by John Rakich, the Guild’s President. The move aims to strengthen Egypt’s position as a major destination for international films production. The signing came during an official ceremony attended by a group of international filmmakers and location managers. It aims to enhance cooperation between the two sides and highlight Egypt’s potential as one of the world’s leading destinations for filming movies.
Egypt offers several diverse filming locations that combine archaeological sites dating back to ancient Pharaonic civilisations, picturesque coastal cities such as Sharm El-Sheikh and Hurghada.
According to the Egypt Film Commission, the services it provides to filmmakers, such as facilitating filming permits, simplifying administrative procedures, and integrated logistical services, have played a major role in making Egypt a preferred choice for international film productions. John Rakich also expressed his admiration for Egypt’s unique filming locations, noting that cooperation with the Egypt Film Commission will contribute to strengthening the vision of film site managers to choose Egypt as an ideal destination to film their works.
