The 54th Corona Cork Film Festival is proud to present this programme which focuses on new films from the Mediterranean and Arab territories. From our collaborations with the Festival du Film Amazigh in Algeria, to our hosting of the Medscreen programme last year, we welcome new films from these regions. We welcome our guests from Algeria and Tunisia also and restate our commitment to presenting cinema from these rich cultures. We thank our partner Eurocinemed, in particular Mr. Menem Richa.

“With the support of Media International preparatory action”

About EuroCineMed

EuroCineMed is a programme of support to Festivals in Europe and the Mediterranean, implemented and financed by the Preparatory Action “MEDIA International”, programme of the European Commission.

It aims at promoting cinematographic works from the 27 EU member countries and the following 10 Mediterranean countries and Territories: Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestinian Territories, Syria, Tunisia, and Turkey.

EuroCineMed encourages notable programming efforts in favour of European films in the Mediterranean Countries or Mediterranean Films in Europe, especially recent films.
The objectives of this programme are to significantly increase the number of European and Mediterranean films programmed in the festivals and to ensure a better visibility for these films in the partner countries.

In addition, this programme will enhance dialogue and common initiatives between Mediterranean and European Professionals in order to improve the circulation of their cinematographic works.

Europa Cinemas, who coordinates this activity, is glad to have the opportunity of a partnership with the Corona Cork Film Festival in 2009, a very important event for the visibility of Mediterranean Films in Ireland. This partnership will allow the Festival audience to discover new films and current realities from the North. We hope you fully enjoy this 2009 Festival!
