Banner SEMANA DE CINE EUROÁRABE AMAL

AMAL International Euroarab Film Festival

Santiago de Compostela, Spain


Amal is a cultural film event of reference, held annually since 2003. Its first edition was conceived as an audiovisual showcase and, after its success, in 2005 it took a step further to become an international competitive festival; the first and only Euro-Arab Film Festival in Europe at that time. After twelve editions, it has once again become a competitive festival, leaving behind the character of an exhibition, aspiring to favour the synergies created between producers, filmmakers and the public. Thus, this 23rd edition will be made up of three competitive sections: 5 fiction films, 5 documentaries and 5 short films, with the aim of recognising the cinematographic talent of the participants in each of the competitive sections.

Any film, feature film or short film - documentary or fiction - of Arab production or co-production may be submitted. Films produced anywhere in the world that deal with themes related to the Arab world (made between 2022-2025) may also be submitted.

The Amal Euro-Arab Film Festival is an appointment with the social vindication, tolerance and concord of peoples. It has become a benchmark and has attracted spectators of all ages, generating a critical and current debate on the Arab world and its contribution to universal culture. In these two decades, Amal has grown in social commitment and has become a loudspeaker for people who need to be heard and for stories that need to be told. They all deserve to be in our memory. They all have a place in the common ground of our civilisation: tolerance. Amal is once again the great cultural bridge between East and West through documentaries and committed films.
