Shoman Cinema

At Shoman Cinema, films are not merely screened, they are experienced. Every showing, every image, and every dialogue, is an invitation to discover the world, understand it, and immerse yourself in its details.

We do not present cinema merely as entertainment, but as a tool for knowledge, a space for reflection, a platform for dialogue, and a bridge for learning and connecting with others.

The cinema committee at Abdul Hameed Shoman Foundation was established in 1989, as an initiative that brings together critics, filmmakers, and artists.

The committee was created because it firmly believes that cinema is one of the most powerful and widespread forms of cultural expression and has worked to present carefully selected Arab and international films, accompanied by discussions and analytical sessions aimed at deepening understanding, broadening perspectives, and stimulating cinematic dialogue.

Since 1992, this initiative has evolved into a specialized department within the Foundation’s structure. The Cinema Committee has continued its work alongside the Foundation’s team to deliver a dynamic, diverse, and engaging film program.
