The programme is also supplemented by a series of cultural events, encounters with the directors, talk shows hosting people related to Middle East, to sustain debate and involve attendees in the festival main themes. Because Film Middle East Now is a platform and an occasion for the Italian and international public to discover and get to know these countries.
