Beirut DC aims at promoting, enhancing and supporting a creative cinematic movement in the Arab World, through Production, promotion and training. After almost a decade of experience in the field, Beirut DC members and friends believe more than ever that the progress of society and its cinema is one. Authentic films and a responsible media offer a possible analysis and reshaping of contemporary Arab societies that are in crisis.
Since 1999 we have made a series of workshops, organized 5 editions of the Arab cinema festival "Ayyam Beirut Al Cinema'iya", currated about 30 Arab film weeks in Europe, introduced Arab films in international markets, created an Arab cinema website ACdir, and supported the production of independent filmmakers through funds and facilities. We also have a large network of filmmakers and producers in the region as well as a video library containing about 2000 Arab independent films.
