Under the theme of “Cinema of Identity”, this panel hosts a group of distinguished filmmakers who present an authentic identity in their works. The guests will discuss the role of films in reflecting the identity of an individual or a country, the importance of expressing identity in cinema, the challenges they may face in their attempt to preserve their own identity throughout their creative projects and how this element can be essential in conveying the message of the film locally and globally, as well as the extent of its impact in shaping a strong and influential cultural image.
