CineMEast is a curated platform for bold, independent cinema from the Middle East — merging the power of real-world screenings with the reach of a soon-to-launch online cinema. Created by Raft Films, CineMEast exists to bring urgent, resonant stories from the region to global audiences — beyond borders, beyond stereotypes.

We host screenings in select cities across the world, building bridges between filmmakers and viewers through shared spaces and shared questions. As we expand into the digital realm, our mission remains clear: to amplify underrepresented voices, spark cross-cultural dialogue, and support films that provoke, resist, and move.

CineMEast is more than a place to watch films. It is a growing constellation of communities, conversations, and cinematic resistance.
