Jordan’s vibrant cinematic landscape continues to evolve thanks in large part to an increasing diversity of filmmaking talent determined to tell their  own unique stories, ranging from intimate portraits and locally rooted genre to historical accounts and the realities of the region’s refugee crisis.

While film remains a highly competitive field, Jordan’s film sector is providing strong support for many up-and-coming filmmakers, from training to networking and funding via the Jordan Film Academy, the Royal Film Commission, Jordan Film Fund and the Amman Film Festival.
