Spacetoon Group has announced its official entry into the Turkish market with the launch of Spacetoon Türkiye, a free-to-air children's television channel, and the streaming platform Spacetoon Go Türkiye. This expansion is supported by the creation of a dedicated Licensing & Merchandising department to strengthen the brand's regional foothold. Spacetoon Türkiye offers a broad range of fully Turkish-dubbed programming across genres intended to spark children's creativity and imagination.

Front Row and Empire Entertainment to release Lebanese film ‘Disorder' on July 10
Front Row will be announcing the exact dates for the film's regional and global roll-out in early July. MENA-based distributor Front Row Filmed Entertainment, in collaboration with Sony distributor Empire Entertainment, has announced the theatrical release of Disorder, a Lebanese anthology feature executive produced by filmmaker Nadine Labaki. The film will open in cinemas across Lebanon on July 10, with plans for a wider release throughout the Levant, the Gulf, select European countries and Australia over the summer. Originally planned as a limited local release, Disorder has generated strong interest following an acclaimed festival run, prompting Front Row to expand its distribution strategy to meet growing regional and international demand. Set against Lebanon's turbulent backdrop—from the 2019 protests to the devastation of the 2020 Beirut port explosion—the film weaves together four darkly comedic and deeply human stories that explore survival and resilience amid chaos. While firmly rooted in Lebanon's recent history, the anthology's themes speak to broader experiences across the region, where humour often becomes both a coping mechanism and an act of defiance. Disorder brings together four acclaimed Lebanese directors—Lucien Bourjeily, Wissam Charaf, Bane Fakih and Areej Mahmoud—to tell these stories with sharp wit and emotional resonance. The cast features celebrated Lebanese actors, including Manal Issa, Rodrigue Sleiman, Farah Shaer and Hanane Hajj Ali. The project was produced by Bechara Mouzannar with executive producers Nadine Labaki and Khaled Mouzannar, and co-producers Abla Khoury and Lara Karam Chekerdjian. The film premiered at Egypt's El Gouna Film Festival, where it received the Cinema for Humanity Audience Award and sold out three screenings. It later played to enthusiastic crowds at the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris and was featured at festivals in Zurich and Washington, DC, among others. Front Row plans to announce detailed dates for the film's regional and international rollout in early July.
