Feature film festival

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.
