Franco-Arab Rendez-Vous Section

The Franco-Arab Film Festival has proven to be a cultural landmark for over 25 years.  It offered to the Jordanian public a selection of French movies and recent films co-produced between France and the Arab World. Some 3,000 viewers used to attend it annually.

From 2021 to 2024, the Amman International Film Festival – Awal Film (AIFF) integrated the Franco-Arab Film Festival under the title of Franco-Arab Rendez-Vous. This non-competitive section enriched the selection of the AIFF with films taping into both the Arabic and French cultures, having reached out to a larger public.

In addition, the Franco-Arab Rendez-Vous showcased at the AIFF, the four short films that have won the annual Franco-Arab Short Film Competition in Noisy-le-Sec were screened. 

French industry professionals and experts also joined the Amman Film Industry Days, the industrial arm of the AIFF.
