Welcome to mec film!

In 2012 mec film is celebrating its 10th anniversary!
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.

Extra mec film and momento! are happy to announce their cooperation in distributing Eyal Sivan’s films. 
In his work Eyal Sivan looks into various forms of political violence and collective memory. He refuses to nationalistic narratives and often turns his attention to perpetrators and followers, be it in his works on the impact of Zionism like in Izkor – Slaves of Memory (1991) or his latest Jaffa – The Orange’s Clockwork, in his essays on the genocides in Africa, Burundi, under Terror (1996) and Itsembatsemba, Rwanda one Genocide later (1997), with regard to the archive of surveillance in GDR in I Love You All (With Audrey Maurion, 2004), or in his seminal film The Specialist (1999) on the Eichmann Trail in Jerusalem, which was inspirational on numerous films on war crimes tribunals.
