Diving into the cinema of the Maghreb and the Middle East today, offering a plural vision of these countries with different histories and destinies, this 23rd edition will focus more particularly on youth and women. This year, in partnership with the Saudi Film Commission, the opening night will be dedicated to the young Saudi film creation. We will screen two previews from Palestine and Lebanon. It will also be an opportunity to discover first films and to meet the many invited filmmakers.
