The
Royal Film Commission, Jordan (RFC) was established in 2003 to develop
and support film industry and promote local and international features
in Jordan. RFC is led by the Board of Commissioners chaired by His
Royal Highness Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein.
In
2005, the RFC launched Rawi (Arabic: 'Storyteller'), the screenplay
development lab to support talented Arab screenwriters. They have
a chance to develop their work in a uniquely creative environment
under the guidance of internationally acclaimed experienced screenwriters
from all over the world.
