Online directory of Arab cinema launched

Filmmakers in the Arab world can now access the Arab Cinema Directory, a Web site that aims to boost the visibility of movies from Middle East and North African countries.

Launched last month, the directory provides details on Arab films of all genres since the 1930s – especially those from Mediterranean countries. Documentaries are included, as well as dramas, experimental films, shorts and full-length features, etc. Each film has a page dedicated to its description, technical details and more.

Filmmakers ca also register their own movies by clicking on the “Add a Film” section. The directory is part of a project call Medscreen, sponsored by the European Union.
