PriMed 2021 MAKES A STOPOVER IN EGYPT
The PriMed tour ends Thursday, November 4 in Cairo at the École Saint Anne. Young people from 4 different schools (École Sainte Anne, École Sacré Cœur Ghamra, Patriarchal College, College of Rajac), very motivated, with a very high level of French, took part in the debates in a voluntary and constructive manner. We had some very strong moments this week meeting young Egyptians. They enchanted us with their maturity, their curiosity and their kindness. We would like to thank them all individually.
Thank you also to the Francophone Activity Center of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina , its Director Marwa El Sahn and her faithful collaborators Fadwa Issa and Hemat El Cheickh.
Thank you also to all the teachers and educational teams in Alexandria, Mansoura, Port Said and Cairo for welcoming us and accompanying us with their students.
On Wednesday November 3, it was in Port Saïd that the PriMed made a stopover. A very studious day for high school students from 4 establishments in the city. These young people, all French-speaking, followed with great seriousness the screenings of the 3 films participating in the Mediterranean Youth Prize. The debates were particularly lively, but always with respect for the word of the other. Here are the institutes that participated:
– Lycée El Horreya
– Nile Egyptian Schools (NES)
– Port-Saïd Integrated Schools (PIS), section nationale
– Port-Saïd Integrated Schools (PIS), section internationale

The occasion to recall that PriMed has been developing for several years an education program for Euro-Mediterranean citizenship through image. Created by the CMCA, the Mediterranean Youth Prize allows nearly 2,500 high school students from the Southern Region, countries of the Mediterranean basin (Algeria, Egypt, Italy, Lebanon, Morocco and Tunisia) and Canada to become jurors of the PriMed festival. After viewing three documentary works in class, they will come together at the Alcazar and Mucem to debate and vote for their favorite film. The opportunity for them to exchange views, to reflect together on building a common future and to learn together the rules of democracy.
This year, the CMCA received 345 films from 34 countries. 23 films were selected for the PriMed. 12 films are unreleased in France and 9 films directed or co-directed by women.
The PriMed 2021 offers the Marseille public 30 hours of free screenings in the presence of the directors at the Library l’Alcazar, at the Town Hall of 1/7 and at the Mucem. 12 prizes will be awarded at the Prize Giving which will be organized on Friday 11 December from 4.30 p.m. at the Artplexe Canebière cinema.
