The Royal Film
Commission – Jordan and Eurasian Dialogue Join Forces in the
Audio-visual Sector
Amman, 7
October 2021
The Royal Film Commission –
Jordan (RFC) and Eurasian Dialogue signed today a Memorandum of
Understanding to cooperate in the field of audio-visual productions
in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and Russia. Eurasian Dialogue is
Krasnodar’s regional public organization to promote development of
international cooperation with the people of Eurasian space.
The MoU was signed for one year
at the Commission’s premises, in Amman, by the RFC’s Managing
Director, Mohannad Al Bakri, and the Head of Eurasian Dialogue,
Tamrazov Yuri Fedorovich.
The two parties aim to
cooperate in the cultural and economic fields related to the
audio-visual sector, organize networking events for film
professionals in the two countries and promote intercultural
dialogue between the Jordanian and Russian film communities.
Commenting on this new
cooperation, Mohannad Al Bakri said: “The RFC continuously seeks to
forge first-hand international cooperation ties in the audio-visual
sector. With Russia being one of the largest film markets in the
world, we believe that such a cooperation will further promote
Jordan as a filming location. Along with Eurasian Dialogue, we will
join hands in hosting Russian and East European producers to explore
the Kingdom for filming opportunities, showcase some of their
well-known productions as well as work towards creating specialized
training programs to target the local film industry.”
On the other hand, Tamrazov
Yuri Fedorovich said: “Thanks to the wise policy of HM King Abdullah
II and the Russian President Vladimir Putin, sincere and friendly
relations have developed between our states. We, as representatives
of the Russian society, only want to contribute to the development
of this good tradition, to show the best of the Jordanians to the
Russians and vice versa, and contribute to the well-being of both
nations by virtue of our capabilities.”
