The Franco-Arab movie week is organized every year by the end of June, beginning of July. This event is the subject of a partnership with the Shoman Foundation and Amman City Council. The objective is to put in contact the Middle East public with Arab cinematography to which it does not usually have access. Almost all the presented movies received French financial aid (often through co-productions).

In addition, the festival of the Franco-Arab movie gives the opportunity to the Arab film directors and actors - some of them living in France - to have a dialogue with the Jordanian public. In 2004, the festival of the Franco-Arab movie celebrated its tenth anniversary.

France presents moreover every year a French film during the European movie festival that traditionally takes place in October. In total, about ten European countries participate at this event.
