Arab cinema refers to the cinema of the Arab world where Arabic language is used in theatre and films.

There is increased interest in films originating in the Arab world. In English speaking countries, films from Algeria, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Syria and Tunisia for example are making wider and more frequent rounds than ever before in local film festivals and repertoire theaters.[1]
