Arabic Movies and Series ‘Breaking From Tradition, Exploring Fresh, Often Edgier Themes,’ Report Finds
Leo Barraclough International Features Editor Family secrets, misadventures, hidden pasts and personal growth were the fastest-growing themes and topics in Arabic movies and series this year, according to an AI-powered report released ahead of TV market Mipcom by Rise Studios, which is based in Dubai. The popularity of these themes and topics reflects the Middle East and North Africa region’s “evolving societal dynamics where traditional values are often challenged by modern realities,” Rise Studios said in a statement. On Monday, Amanda Turnbull, CEO and founder of Rise Studios, will be a panelist at Mipcom in a session about drama series that travel across borders.
