يَسْتَعِدُّ مِهْرَجَانُ الْقُدْسِ لِلسِّينَمَا الْعَرَبِيَّةِ لِبَدْءِ دَوْرَتِهِ السَّادِسَةِ فِي الثَّامِنِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ تَمُّوزَ. وَتَسْتَمِرُّ الْفَعَالِيَّاتُ حَتَّى الثَّانِي مِنْ آبَ، تَحْتَ شِعَارِ «الْحَيَاةِ وَالِاسْتِمْرَارِيَّةِ». وَسَيَعْرِضُ الْمِهْرَجَانُ سِتَّةً وَثَلَاثِينَ فِلْمًا عَرَبِيًّا، بَيْنَ أَفْلَامٍ رِوَائِيَّةٍ طَوِيلَةٍ وَقَصِيرَةٍ، وَأَفْلَامٍ وَثَائِقِيَّةٍ.

سَتُقَامُ حَفْلَاتُ الِافْتِتَاحِ فِي الْوَقْتِ نَفْسِهِ فِي الْقُدْسِ وَحَيْفَا وَبَيْتِ لَحْمٍ وَالنَّاصِرَةِ. وَتَسْتَضِيفُ الْقُدْسُ عُرُوضًا فِي الْبَلْدَةِ الْقَدِيمَةِ، وَالْمَرْكَزِ الثَّقَافِيِّ الْفَرَنْسِيِّ، وَحَدِيقَةٍ مَفْتُوحَةٍ. وَتَلَقَّى الْمُنَظِّمُونَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ فِلْمًا قَصِيرًا قَبْلَ اخْتِيَارِ الْأَعْمَالِ الْمُشَارِكَةِ.

وَيَشْمَلُ الْبَرْنَامَجُ وَرْشَةً فِي التَّمْثِيلِ السِّينَمَائِيِّ، وَجَلَسَاتٍ مُتَخَصِّصَةً، وَلِقَاءَاتٍ مَعَ صُنَّاعِ الْأَفْلَامِ. كَمَا يُقَدِّمُ بَرْنَامَجًا خَاصًّا بِالسِّينَمَا السُّودَانِيَّةِ، يَشْمَلُ نُسْخَةً مُرَمَّمَةً مِنْ فِلْمِ «اِنْتِزَاعُ الْكَهْرَمَانِ» الْوَثَائِقِيِّ، لِلْمُخْرِجِ السُّودَانِيِّ الرَّاحِلِ حُسَيْنِ شَرِيفٍ. وَيُعَرِّفُ هٰذَا الْبَرْنَامَجُ الْجُمْهُورَ بِجُزْءٍ مِنْ تَارِيخِ السِّينَمَا السُّودَانِيَّةِ.
