A comparative study, meetings and roundtables
The main aim of the project is to respond to an array of questions related to the cinema in the Arab region in an attempt to learn the available capacities and potential for organising the relationship between the various the stakeholders in the cinema sector, whether governmental, independent or commercial. The need for such a project stems from the lack of clearly defined frameworks and mechanisms for the display and distribution of films in many Arab countries.
