Following the launch of a mobile movie making initiative among students two weeks ago, Middle East Broadcasting (MBC) executives have now revealed the TV broadcaster is planning more serious investments in filmmaking.

This firm plans to produce approximately six Arabic-language feature films a year for theatre goers in the Middle East.
