Commenting on the submissions and selection process, the Jury noted: As a jury, we were pleased to explore 66 cinematic and TV projects that were submitted to the Jordan Film Fund as they represent a diversity of trends, ideas and generations working in the Jordanian film industry. In general, the projects tackled rich societal and humanitarian topics that dealt with Jordanian issues and specificities without ignoring the issues and concerns of neighbouring Arab countries. This underlines the fundamental and appropriate support provided by the JFF to co-productions.
It was hard to choose amongst the projects since most of the works have a promising technical value. But after several days of deliberation, we decided to dedicate more than 40% to supporting short films, given their availability and advanced level: films that young filmmakers aspire to realise, some of them working on their first project, which will nurture the Jordanian cinema with a new generation.
The Jury hopes that its choice will contribute to the development and implementation of projects that will enrich the Jordanian and Arab film scene, and will be accompanied by productions that add to its repertoire and strengthen its position on the global cinema map.”
Princess Rym Ali, Managing Director- Interim of the Royal Film Commission – Jordan and Member of its Board of Commissioners, added: I am very pleased that we have been able to move forward with this years distribution of support to Jordanian and Arab filmmakers, after careful deliberation of the independent Jury. The Royal Film Commissions aim has always been and continues to be to support filmmakers to tell stories of quality, and contribute to developing a local film industry in Jordan. We hope that the films that are made with funding from the JFF will reflect the best storytelling to come out of Jordan and contribute to the development of that industry here.
