With a main objective of supporting and promoting the Arab film industry in international markets, Arab Cinema Center (ACC) has announced that four international film festivals have joined its list of partners. The festivals are the Festival Ciné Palestine (FCP) in France, the Arab Film Festival (AFF) in the USA, the Karama Human Rights Film Festival in Jordan, and the 3 Minutes 3 Days Film Festival in Iraq.

Established in Paris in 2014, the Festival Ciné Palestine (FCP) aims to shed light on the quality of Palestinian cinema in all its diversity, through a highly curated selection of films. Challenging the restrictions imposed by borders, FCP gathers aspiring, emerging and established Palestinians artists and gives them the chance to meet their audience. The festival has created a recognized space for discussions, meetings and debates around independent Palestinian cinema. FCP also intends to play a major role in supporting the creation, production and distribution of Palestinian cinema.

The 4th edition of Festival Ciné-Palestine (May 25 to June 3, 2018) will see the creation of a platform for sharing and exchanging ideas and projects among professionals in the Palestinian, Arab and international film industries. The first edition of the FCP Industry Days will take place on May 28 and 29, 2018.

Around 8000 spectators from different fields come yearly to the event, attend, and participate in its diverse activities.
