ArapánCinemaDocumentario was founded in February 2007.
The cooperative was born of the desire of the three founding members to propose a dynamic context of
creation and development in documentary cinema, production and training. The aim is to produce cinema
directly linked to reality. But also cinema requiring attentive, personal observation of the Southern Italy
society and culture. The company organise training courses and festivals in different cities in South Italian
Regions (Sicilia, Calabria, Campania).
The Company has been create to become a strong reference in the audiovisual Mediterranean network: the
themes that are treated in our documentaries concern, in a very direct way, the social issues that
characterize the 4 principal regions of South Italy. The intention is to develop also the work of directors
living in those regions, or in other Mediterranean regions, in coproduction with other Mediterranean
countries.
Concerning the training and festivals activity, the company is working with local institutions to create a long
term collaboration in order to establish a training short term system specialised in ‘cinéma vérité’.

CTV produced major Tunisian movies, International movies, television shows, documentaries and
commercial advertisements. CTV‘s focus has always been experience, determination and professional skills.
The Chairman of CTV services is Abdelaziz Ben Abdel Mlouka who has a long life experience in the audiovisual field. After a long practice at the SATPEC (The State owned production and distribution company), he
has been managing teams for fifteen years now, with strong motivations, competitive in technical fields
and ready to go.
In order to be an efficient film producer you must be ready to compete at all the time. You must be the
long sighted captain of a professional team with high professional skills. Abdelaziz Ben Mlouka has been
successful for a long time which is why his reputation is known nationally and internationally. Most of the
well known film directors, who worked with Abdelaziz Ben Mlouka in the past, renewed their partnership
with CTV. For example, the American producer, Rick McCullum (Lucasfilm), after the shooting of Star Wars:
Episode -I- The Phantom Menace Georges Lucas was extremely satisfied with CTV’s services and decided to
shoot the second part of the “The Clone Wars” with CTV. Successful partnerships were renewed with
Vertigo Productions and Director Cédric Klapich, with Jean Paul Belmondo and for “La Vérité si je Mens” of
Thomas Gilou with José Garcia, Richard Anconina, Gad El Malech, Bruno Solo and Daniel Prevost.
With “3B productions” it was the same successful collaboration with “ Vivre au paradis” starring Rochdy
Zem and “Flandres” of Bruno Dumont, who won the first prize of the jury at the “Cannes Film Festival ” in
2006. A CTV service provides an excellent quality of work for film professionals. CTV is able to offer, thanks
to a perfect knowledge of the Tunisian environment, a complete painting of the different possibilities that
Tunisia offers, including the diversity and beauty of its landscapes, historical patrimony and human
resources, aspects that are very important to “picture hunters”.
