Welcome to mec film!

mec film is a distribution company for films exclusively from the Middle East. mec stands for middle eastern cinemas. We represent short, medium, and feature length documentary and fiction films that offer a different perspective on the region; always from an inside perspective. On the background of ongoing debates about the region - religion, Islamism and violence, the role of women, or terror - we want to add a different angle and show films that are made in the Middle East. more...
mec film services works also in the field of coproduction and consultancy. You find more information here.
