Panel 1: Film industry, market and distribution

One of the major objectives of the JCC is to create better conditions for a fruitful exchange between professionals, to promote the opportunities for the production, distribution or broadcasting of Arab and African films.

To do so, this panel aims to design new mechanisms that would mobilize professionals and lead them to invent a new market arrangement for the Arab and African films in different media, from halls to the internet platform, through the television channels.

The principle of market and distribution should lead us to think upstream about the film industry in general and the need to restructure and energize the professional sections, such as Takmil, Chabaka and eventually other forms of meetings which, in our opinion, constitute a valuable and timely support for production, especially for the young filmmakers.
