Documentary production • since 2014
We tell the real worldas it has never been told
From a first line on paper to a film screening at festivals and on major networks. We make documentaries that research, that listen, and that leave a mark.
Who we are
A production house that builds films on research, not assumption.
Filmzion is a team of directors, researchers, cinematographers and editors making documentary films and series for broadcasters, platforms and institutions. We work in Arabic, English and French, and know the region's field conditions as well as the requirements of an international buyer.

What we do
From idea to screen, under one roof

Distribution & Festivals
A release strategy that starts on day one: festivals, streamers, broadcasters, special screenings and impact campaigns.

- Platform & broadcaster deals
- Marketing assets & trailers

How we work
Four stages, no surprises
Listening
We start with a long session: what is the story, who is it for, and why now? Not a line gets written before we know.
Research
Field and archival research, source verification, and a written treatment that fixes the narrative and visual form.
Shooting
Small crews, long time in the field, real trust with the characters. Good documentary needs patience more than gear.
Cut & Release
Editing with clear review rounds, then sound, colour and subtitles, and a release plan that reaches the right audience.
