The next edition of the META Cinema Forum, which will be held from October 25 to 26, 2022, at the Atlantis the Palm in Dubai, will address the demand-supply mismatch in film contents and theater facilities across the Middle East and Africa.
The META Cinema Forum, now in its fifth year, will bring together cinema industry stakeholders from Turkey, Asia, and CIS countries, making it a truly global cinema industry convention that has become one of the must-attend global cinema conventions.
At the META Cinema Forum, over 500 industry delegates, experts, and participants will discuss and debate the opportunities and challenges that industry stakeholders face. More than 60 exhibitors will showcase the most recent products and services that enhance the moviegoing experience. The two-day mega cinema industry conference will be followed by a three-day META Film Fest, which will screen over 40 shortlisted feature films, documentaries, and short films, as well as premieres of highly anticipated 2022 releases at the Nakheel Mall’s VOX Cinemas.
“META Cinema Forum has become an international platform for the global cinema industry community to build partnerships and bridge the content gap, in addition, to discuss ways to expand the cinema chains into emerging markets,” Leila Masinaei, Managing Partner, Great Mind Events Management, said.
META Cinema Forum also contributes to the growth of the creative economy, which has the potential to have a significant impact in Middle Eastern and African countries. It will support the Dubai Creative Economy Strategy, which aims to transform Dubai into an international creative destination and creative economy capital by 2025.
