A total 120 projects from Morocco to Syria are set to be supported over the next three years by the new $2.2m (€2m) Icam programme co-funded the European Union.
Speaking to ScreenDaily, Catherine Buresi, one of Icam’s initiators, explained that “the idea was to create a programme to support the development of projects, training measures and networking events as a forum for producers from the nine Arab countries”.

The eligible countries are Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.
