What we cover
The business of making content: funds and grants, calls and commissions, policy, facilities, and productions getting under way — the machinery of the industry rather than reviews and red carpets. Our beats are screen, audio and theatre.
How the news is chosen
Headlines come from the institutions that fund and commission production, and from trade publications. We show the headline and a link to the publisher. No article text is reproduced here.
Editorial standards
We link; we do not copy. Every item shows a headline and a link to the original — never the article's text. State-affiliated sources are marked as such. Both languages are treated as first-class: an English item and its Arabic twin are one story, not two.
The directory
Every entry links to the institution's own site. Where a site no longer works, the entry stays listed and says so. Arabic names appear only where the institution publishes one — a name written wrongly in its own language is worse than an honest gap.
Where we report from
Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, UAE.
Corrections and removals
