Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent Cinemed, the Mediterranean Cinema Film Festival, is partnering up with Lebanese film org Aflamuna / Beirut DC to launch a new co-production and co-financing initiative aimed at high-profile projects from the Arab world.
The new program, which is also backed by France’s National Film Board and is part of the festival’s industry showcase Cinemed Meetings, will present seven projects involving 22 Arab countries, including Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Liban, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Syria, among others.
All selected projects are currently in development and are being brought by filmmakers who have previously directed at least one short film.
Christophe Leparc, head of Cinemed,pointed that the festival already had a successful collaboration with Beirut DC/Aflamuna during the event Beirut Cinema Platform which takes place in March in Lebanon. “This new collaboration stems from our desire to join our complementary skills and expertise: Beirut DC is well-established in the Arab film community, while Cinemed boasts a vast network of producers, crew members and French and European institutions which are potentially interested in discovering new projects – fiction and documentary — from the Arab world,” Leparc continued.
