Cinema Àrab i Mediterrani de Catalunya was created in 2007 with the intention of breaking the stereotypes about what we call the "Arab World," a Western view of the East that hides and simplifies, without too much consideration, the realities that are much richer, more diverse and more complex than we think.

Brought to life by a collective of Lebanese filmmakers united by the desire to make cinema and spread it beyond its borders, the festival acts as a sounding board for the longings, concerns, contradictions and conflicts that cross the Mediterranean. Promoting cultural diversity through cinema, its program is made up of films directed or produced by filmmakers from Arab countries. With an eye on the latest news but always looking towards the deep roots that help us better understand how we have come to where we are today, the festival is complemented by various parallel activities and there is a featured guest country each year.
