The desert metropolis of Dubai is adding to its exotic allure. Joining the ranks of international markets like Cannes, Sundance in Utah, Telluride and Milan, the Dubai International Film Festival is rapidly becoming a choice venue for cineastes looking to promote and finance feature and documentary films. Approximately 80 films are featured, from Hollywood blockbusters to indie productions, highlighting excellence in Arab filmmaking. Functioning as a new "Cultural Bridge", the goal of the festival is to promote knowledge and understanding between Arab and non-Arab nations. Check the website for information on event dates, film schedule and venues.

Not to be missed
Even though, it's only in its second year, the Dubai Film Festival has by far become one of the most anticipated film festivals in the world alongside Cannes, Venice and Berlin! If you'd like to have a great time in December and seeing all the famous people then you're at the right place...actually I just met Morgan Freeman...
Would you recommend this to a friend?
Yes
Why? / Why Not?
The selection of films is exceptional and their gala parties are the best ever!
