In October, the Fundación Tres Culturas is offering a cycle of Euro-Arab co-productions with the aim of highlighting the cultural cooperation between countries, resulting in films, documentaries and short films of great quality and thematic variety.
France is a winner in these co-productions with French-speaking countries such as Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, ensuring the permanence and dissemination of its language and giving young filmmakers the opportunity to make their first films, while positioning itself as the patron country of Arab and African cinema.
