Melanie Oliveiro finds out where in Singapore we can go to watch films made by moviemakers from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, and in the process learning more about modern Arabian culture – should we consider traveling to the GCC.

Cinemagoers will access a curated selection of 17 films representing the diverse cinematic landscape of the GCC, along the themes of sustainability, animation, sports and female empowerment.
