Middle East Film and Comic Con

The Middle East Film & Comic Con is a speculative fiction convention held annually in Dubai, United Arab Emirates in the month of March.

Initially featuring comic books, science fiction/fantasy and film/television, MEFCC has grown to become a regional pop-culture centerpiece that curates almost all forms of popular arts and pop culture elements, including horror, animation, anime, manga, toys, collectible card games, video games, webcomics, and fantasy novels. It also focuses on regionally created content such as Xero Error, Freej, FOBcity, Gold Ring, The Sons of Two Suns, etc. The convention is the first and largest of its kind in the Middle East region. Along with panels, seminars, and workshops with comic book professionals, there are previews of upcoming films, portfolio review sessions with comic book companies and a cosplay contest.

Over its history, MEFCC has hosted many celebrities in the world of pop-culture, including Jason Momoa, John Rhys-Davies, Gillian Anderson, William Shatner, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Anthony Mackie, and Liam Cunningham.
