14km Film Database

14km Film Database

Concomitant with the 14km Film and Discussion Series we are offering a collection of films and movies about North Africa and the Middle East, which we intend to continually extend. With that we want to inspire people and give ideas and information to other organisations with interest in North African and Arabian cinema. Thus, if a movie that you appreaciate should be lacking, please tell us and we will add it.

This database is updated continuously! Tips and ideas are very welcome directly via email. Thank you very much!
