CMENA films are not accessible in the Arab world as the website is a European platform.
CMENA is for films from the MENA region—Middle East and North Africa—and for filmmakers from this region or the diaspora with a MENA background.
On the filmmakers' page, you can share your details and film with us by clicking the 'send your film' button. We will contact you as soon as possible. We are looking for films of high artistic quality and new talents from the MENA region and the diaspora.
Your film will be showcased to a broad audience in the West, and public prizes are regularly awarded to the best-viewed film on the platform. These awards are announced during film festivals by our partners such as the Rotterdam Arab Film Festival, Casablanca Arab Film Festival, Alexandria Short Film Festival, and more.
If your film is selected, there is a minimum period of three months that your film remains online, but it may stay longer if you wish. However, if we don't hear from you, your filmmaker profile will become invisible, so it's beneficial to keep your work online on the platform to maintain your profile.
We try to respond to all messages as quickly as possible, but due to high demand and limited time, there may be a delay. We strive to answer all queries as promptly as possible.
Yes, you are welcome to share films via social media links available on each film's page. However, sharing direct film streams is not permitted without prior authorization.
