Front Row also has established itself as a leader in the post-theatrical space, having pioneered the PVOD window back in 2014 and struck several key partnerships with regional players including an long-standing output agreement with BeIN MediaGroup, the MENA’s leading PAY TV network as well as Netflix, having sold the platform over 500 titles since 2016.

We are deeply committed to supporting and promoting the growth of the regional film industry. In 2020, Front Row co-founded Front Row Productions in partnership with Empire Entertainment, one of the region’s leading distributors and partners of Sony Pictures for more than 40 years, with the goal of developing and producing Arabic films and TV Series. In January 2021, Front Row Productions signed a multi-year agreement with Netflix – the first picture of the deal, the Arabic adaptation of the Italian smash hit “Perfect Strangers”, was Netflix’ first Arabic original feature and featured an all-star cast led by Nadine Labaki.
