Gulf Film distributes and exhibits over 150 titles – one out of every two films distributed to the region – cementing its position as the leading distributor in the Middle East by far.

Recognising the potential of film exhibition, Gulf Film in 2000 expanded its industry portfolio with the creation of Grand Cinemas.
