As the Middle East changes and new political, as well as economic allegiances are created, the entertainment scene thrives in a region that boasts a young, tech-savvy audience, and burgeoning cultural following.
Yet no publication exists that covers every part of this dense landscape — from Gulf cinema auteurs, to Hollywood blockbusters premiering in the newest movie market of Saudi Arabia, from Iranian films featured in international film festivals to North African hits, both at home and in arthouses around the world, and not to be forgotten — popular Arabic cinema. Plus the added spice of Bollywood, which caters to the large South Asian population in Arab countries. All genres, in all languages and featuring everyone worth watching.
