How this list is made
Only official lists are read: a film commission's list of what was filmed in its country, a fund's list of what it funded, a festival's own Arab and Saudi selections. The country shown is the one the list states — where the film was shot, or the grantee's country as the fund records it. A festival selection shows no country, because the festival's country is not the film's. A filmmaker's origin is never guessed from a name.
In Arabic, a film appears only where its source publishes an Arabic title.
