AFLAMUNA Connection
a co-production platform for independent producers,
directors, and holders of feature film projects
in the Arab Region
AFLAMUNA Connection (formerly known as Beirut Cinema Platform) is a co-production platform that brings together independent producers, directors, and holders of feature film projects (both fiction and documentary) from the Arab region with regional and international potential partners – including producers, sales agents, representatives from support funds and festivals, as well as unconventional potential partners from across civil society.
The platform aims to foster new cinematic alliances, encourage the development of collaborative projects and productions, and facilitate cooperation between industry experts and project owners.
This platform is proud to champion complex and daring subjects, underrepresented narratives, and projects that have yet to make it to the industry radar.
