  • Description

    Greenhouse brings together filmmakers from countries throughout the Middle East—from Israel to Jordan to Syria to Egypt and more for a year-long fellowship where filmmakers meet to work on scripts with mentors from the likes of Sundance, Tribeca, and Canal Plus. The result: better made films and deep connections between this diverse group of storytellers. To date, 200 filmmakers have participated in the program, 113 concepts have been developed, and 30 films have made it to the screen, including an Israeli film that was nominated for an Academy Award.
