Welcome to the Orchard Clips newsletter for March.
This month, we shine a spotlight on the rich cultural tapestry of the Middle East and North Africa as we prepare for MENA Heritage Month, highlighting curated clips that celebrate the region’s history, identity, and creativity. We also explore Jordan in our Country Focus, delving into a collection that captures its ancient wonders, modern vibrancy, and breathtaking landscapes. Plus, on the blog, we break down the essentials of footage licensing, offering practical guidance for documentary producers and researchers working with Middle Eastern archival material.
If any of these features inspire your next project, Orchard Clips would be delighted to assist in its creation. Do not hesitate to contact us at contact@orchardclips.com to discuss how we can help.
For those about to celebrate, we wish a blessed and joyful Eid, with peace, prosperity, and harmony for you and your loved ones. Eid Mubarak!
