12-06-2008 – LESS THAN THREE WEEKS LEFT FOR AMAL FESTIVAL SUBMISSIONS DEADLINE

Next June 30 is the deadline for those filmmakers who would like to participate in next VI edition of International Euro Arab Film Festival AMAL. So far, and since the Open Call launched last February, the festival has already received many submissions of documentaries, featured films and short films to participate in the next edition of the festival that will be held from the 25 to the 31 of October in Santiago de Compostela. It is outstanding the greater quality of the received films with respect to previous editions. This is mainly a result of the grater diffusion efforts done this year and the fact of visiting different international film festivals of Arabic cinema like the Gulf Film festival of Dubai (UAE) and Al Jazeera International Documentary Film Festival (Qatar), in which AMAL was present last month of May, or the South Cinemas Film Festival held last week in Granada. The visits to such festivals and the meetings held with directors, producers and other people involved in the cinematographic industry in many different countries, have made AMAL Festival well known in international cinema circuits and in the same time makes us discover new very promising filmmakers and attract a greater amount and quality in the presented works.
