Gianluca Chakra
As the global entertainment industry evolves, Hollywood's dominance faces growing competition from diverse voices worldwide. This session focuses on the rise of Middle Eastern storytelling and its significant impact on global cinema. It highlights how writers and filmmakers from the region are breaking stereotypes, presenting new perspectives, and challenging the status quo. With a rich cultural heritage and innovative contemporary narratives, Middle Eastern creators are redefining storytelling by providing perspectives and, crucially, counter-narratives that are more universal, inclusive, nuanced, and authentic.
