A year more the International Euro Arab Film Festival AMAL gives appointment to all the passionate of the cinema. In this VI edition, AMAL has a main number of participants and with the incorporation of new countries that were not present the last year, as it is the case of Greece, Holland, Sweden or Venezuela. In this VI edition of AMAL exists a remarkable increase in the participation of some already usual countries in the Festival. This is the case of Spain, Iraq, Palestinian, Morocco, France and Egypt. Attending to the classification of films by categories we observe, if in past editions the short film was the category by excellence between all the films received, in this VI edition of long films has increased notably his participation. This increase of long films indicates a bets investor from the Arab cinema and the wish to achieve an international recognition with a participation more active in festivals. At this moment in time, the members of the committee are watching the last films that they have received. We will be around the middle of the next month of August when it will know the official section of the films that will compete in the VI edition of the International Festival of Cinema Euro Arab that will celebrate from the 25th to the 31st of October in Santiago of Compostela.
