Masahat :
Masahat AFLAMUNA is a groundbreaking initiative set to transform the Arab cinema landscape by creating a decentralized, inclusive model for film distribution. This project reconnects Arab audiences with their own cinema, empowering communities across the region to host screenings in non-commercial spaces and offering filmmakers a platform to self-distribute their work to new, engaged viewers.
Through mapping local venues, providing training, and offering micro-funding, Masahat AFLAMUNA is building a vibrant network of cultural organizers dedicated to bringing independent Arab cinema to life. The program’s key components include an open-access directory of screening spaces, specialized training for community cinema leaders, and a curated film catalogue available for free screenings.
Masahat AFLAMUNA is not just about distribution—it’s about fostering a grassroots movement that democratizes access to Arab films, especially for underserved communities. By working collaboratively with local partners, the project empowers people to share stories that reflect their own cultures, and amplifies independent voices in a region where these films often struggle to find an audience.
Starting in Palestine, Lebanon, and Tunisia, Masahat AFLAMUNA aims to expand across the Arab world, providing an open-source model that can be replicated globally. This is more than a project; it’s a movement to reinvigorate the connection between Arab cinema and its people, ensuring that independent films are seen, heard, and celebrated by all.
